Shall I say... 3.6?, my conversion thread ... Options

[SirAndy]

alright, time to start a conversion thread. i picked up the engine a month ago and started with the prepping of the tub today.

didn't get too much stuff done, oh well, babysteps ...

the ToDo-List (striked-out items are done!):
============================================
i'm going to overhaul the suspension, mount a front oil cooler with fan(s), fix a few spots on the tub the PO had hacked together, add racing seats and 5-point harness, install the 944 axles, the 911 eBrake, the new trailing arms, add a rear sway bar, Mueller roller bearings, new 250lbs springs on adjustable perches, fix the front sway bar, install new rear window, fix the gastank (correctly this time), replace the plastic fuel lines, get a trick porsche motorsports setup for my oiltank, add a vent to the front hood, redo the rear spoiler (ducktail), 100mm wheel studs all around, throw in the 3.6L motor and when all that is done, i'm going to give her a one of a kind paintjob!

oh, and i'm still playing with the idea to have her put on a celette bench to make sure she's straight ...
============================================

ETA: soon enough to run a full season for 2006 2007 !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

more babysteps but no pictures today ...


got the front swaybar fixed. cut off the old mounting tabs and welded in the new ones.
added the new (shorter) droplinks and verfied that my chassis is bend. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

now i will *need* to put it on a celette bench for sure ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

i also added the 100mm wheel studs to the front and added 2 3/4" spacers on each side. fills out the wheelwell nicely now, can barely squeeze a finger between the tire and the flare.

slow, but progress. plus, after some brainstorming (and pizza! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) ) McMark is contemplating to get himself a complete alignment setup in his shop. corner balancing and precision alignment ... can't wait ...
