So I'm test-fitting my engine and transmission in the car right now, and I'm having some problems. Perhaps someone can offer some advice.
Engine is a 2.7 liter, transmission is a 901 pull clutch, mount (for now) is a Patrick Motorsport piece. Issue #1: supposedly the clutch cable to use is a 72-74 911 unit. The sheath is a little short, though, and making a bracket isn't necessarily easy because part of the crankcase prevents me from having a straight shot. I have an idea of how to do this, but I'm wondering if anyone's done this before. Here's a pic: Attached image(s) |

Hi, Timo!
You're right. The transmission I'm running is the '70-'71 911 (type 901) box. I flipped the ring and pinion, naturally. The flexible hose is a used hose I found around the shop. It cracked as I tried to bend it. I thought I'd see if that type of hose would work before I bought a new one. You still may be right about the 4 cyl. mount thing. I hadn't thought of that. I will be using a bulkhead mount for this conversion. The Patrick mount, again, is for the test fit only. The oil tank isn't entirely attached. Two nuts hold the studs down with a few threads. I need to get some small parts from the dealer to finish the installation. I also need to wrangle with the oil line out of the tank and figure out if I can tighten it with the oil tank in the car. (I'm thinking that's not the case). Thanks for the suggestions! Thanks for the suggestions. |
