Keith914 and I poked the engine into the bay without a hitch. The Rich Johnson motor mount, a full height lift, and the engine on a 3'high rolling bench made the process quite easy to accomplish. Also, my Carbon Fiber "tin" is now made with screw-in fitting so as to allow the engine to be inserted and the side and forward pieces to be installed after the engine is in its mounts - front and back. Also, the CF access hatch proves its value in addressing final after initial warm up.

Perry K. is constructing a harness to mate to the alternator, MSD harness and the other required connections while I am finishing up the fuel system connections to the carbs and awaiting the arrival of two AN-12 fittings to complete the oil system. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Took the teener to an old school alignment shop for a front end alignment after lowering the front end last week:

Finally got the front part of the 'impinged' clutch cable removed from the tunnel a little while ago. What a pain in the, uh... back, that was. I had forgotten how working in cramped spaces affects old bones and muscles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) - I just took a norco, so I'll be OK shortly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

It's been a while since Kent & I had worked on the original hyd. clutch project, I'm trying to remember where we left off and what I need to do next.

Continuing with the six conversion....I see some of you on the same track as me already have the engines installed. I hope I will be driving mine by summertime. Fuel pressure regulator and fuel lines run.

Can someone tell me if it is OK that the fuel inlet side steps down in diameter after the fuel filter? I am running low pressure fuel pump for carbs. I know I probably dont need the regulator but I like the idea of being able to dial in the pressure.

After effectivley ignoring the LE since the WCR I decided to tackle the Alt. replacement. Id decided to do it in car, which Id never performed before.
What a PITA!!
Thats the last time I do that unless its out of necessity on the side of the road!

914 content- it's in the background under a cover...

Put engine back in 993 after new LWFW/clutch, seals, etc. Went in pretty well with 3 people, balancing, etc. 914 much easier though! Can do that almost by myself!Attached Image

Steve came by the shop to take a tour and get out of his house for a while / so we installed a oil line clamp to immobilize the stock 914-6 oil line leaving the oil tank. I also installed the carbon fiber "tin" after the insertion of the engine a few days ago. Awaiting a few AN fittings to complete the oil lines. Once the wiring harness comes in, it will be installed and off to the first startup.... Yikes!

No new pix so an old one showing my (now) 31 year old son in one of my earlier rides / and another later targa that was totaled in a T-bone with my lovely wife at the wheel and my son in the impact side....

Not a damn thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

However, the Mrs. and I did check out and test-drive a really nice '75 BMW 2002 ... still sporting the original paint too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I still have a couple more to look at before deciding which one to buy for her upcoming birthday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)


Looks like I'm getting another 4-post lift tomorrow - well, at least paying for it tomorrow. Will be erecting it in my rear driveway for now ... then possibly moving it to AZ after dealing with a few German autos here.
