my opinions....
Do an alternator that has an internal regulator. The air box on the CIS can be moved so that the trunk does not need to be cut....do a search on Pelican Parts and/or tlak to Wayne Dempsey the owner. Get the Rich Johnson bulkhead mount...weld/bolt it to the lowest level....you'll where that is when you get it and are in the bay with a welder. Don't get ANYTHING from Patrick Motorsports.... Go to Pegasus or BAT Inc for the conversion fittings from Porsche metric to -AN and build your own oil lines. Get a REAL 914 oil tank...runaway from Vellious aftermarket ones. Use Eurorace headers unless you can find a nice set of 914/6 heat exchangers. Get the conversion flywheel and clutch parts as a package from Kennedy Engineered Parts....save bucks and hassles. Don't be afraid to ask questions....a lot of us have done more than one conversion.... |
