I have an original 2.0 liter six. I bought a 3.0 liter with webers and am going to do the swap. I have researched this forum and what to confirm/clarify if I am getting things right.
From what I understand I need to do the following:

1) Get a flywheel/clutch setup from Kennedy. Can I use the 3.0 liter flywheel with an adapter? It is a 9 bolt flywheel. Is there a reason to use the flywheel from Kennedy, over the adapter ring gear? I have read that the Kennedy flywheel is welded up and re-drilled, not sure if I want to go that way.

2) Modify the 3.0 liter oil cooler with a 90 degree to clear the trailing arm. Is the 3.0 liter cooler different than my cooler from the stock 2.0? Do I need the engine cooler even if I want to add a front mounted cooler? Will I need a front mounted cooler?

3) Do I need to modify the throttle linkage on the 3.0 liter? It came out of a 911. I would think I need some of my linkage parts from the original six, but not sure.

I plan to upgrade the fuel lines in the tunnel with the stainless setup from one of the guys on the board.
Is there anything else I should do while I have things apart?

Thanks for you help.

Thanks Guys,
I think I will get the cooler converted, that way the swap will go a little quicker. don't need to take apart the 2.0 to get the cooler.
Still a little uncertain about the clutch/flywheel setup. I guess there is not real advantage to either way.
I am not sure about the cams. I think they are stock. Will that be a problem with the carbs. I am not expecting to get max power out of the package. From what I understand I would need new pistons if I went with a bigger cam, would be nice.
I already have big tires.
