As some of you may know already, I picked up an original 914-6 motor and will be replacing my 2.0l 4. on my phoenix red

Attached Image

I know ths s not a big 3.2, but this s a cool upgrade for me.

So far I have located all the extra components to complete this conversion.

Engine tins
headers
muffler - triad
oil cooler
oil tank -Velios with filler neck and dipstick
bell crank for transmission to carbs

I will be looking for the oil lines.

If I am missing anything please give me your expertise.
A picture or oil lines diagram will be helpful.

The first thing i would like to do is bench test it.

As always, all advices are welcome and appreciated

I don't think it's gonna work. Besides, I don't think it's gonna fit.

Get rid of it

Bench test it with the oil tank attached correctly, and make sure the tank is at the correct height.

Then, spin the motor without plugs to get oil into the motor first, then put in the plugs and fire it up.

Joe,
I know it will fit on yours. Come and get it, you are only 45 miles away

Rich, thanks for the advise, what kind of oil should I use in this? Still brad-penn?

Motor mount, tach or tach adaptor, oil pressure and temp gauge, heat block off tins, clutch/flywheel - maybe. heavier rear springs - possibly.

Got the bulkhead motor mount with all hardware.
My current oil temp gauge Will not work ? Who sells the tach adapters?

Clutch / flywheel?

The flywheel is currently in there (oops! I think) do I need a different one?

I took a good look at the motor again today, flywheel clutch and pressure plate are All there. They all seem to be in great shape.

I am missing every oil line. Does anyone have a diagram of the oil lines from motor to cooler then oil tank and returns?

Do I need to cut ant holes to install the stock oil tank?

I am sure this is just the beginning if the questions.

Thanks

Search - there are many posts about oil lines and cutting the oil tank area. Read up on all the conversion threads and you'll be ready. PET should also show all the parts.

Yes, you need to cut holes for the tank.
If you get one from Patrick motors ports, I bet they will have a diagram for you.

You may want to install or not run the engine too long with that right rear tin missing.
