My six conversion started with the purchase several years ago of an engine from a wrecked 1984 Carerra. The car had low mileage and good leak down numbers, but it has been stored most of the time on an engine stand while I found a '72 roller and did all of the necessary welding.
Now it is almost ready to mount. I rebuilt a 901 tranny and just installed the clutch. One idea I have is pouring oil into the inlet hose and using the starter to turn the motor over with the spark plugs out. No electrics to anything but the starter. The idea is to prelubricate things before actually firing it up. The starter would be used to turn the oil pump. Another idea would be to find an opening into the oil gallery and pump oil in with some sort of external pump. Worth the trouble? As always any advice would be welcome. I have to say I am getting psyched! |
