Doesn't sound too bad Mark… Atleast you didn't have to weld the car back together before starting your work.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Soooooo Lock youself in the shop, turn on the heat…. turn on the radio… and start assembling the engine.. :-) I know its much more involved than assembling a T4 but its still just measure, place component, gasket/sealant, bolts and torque. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I'm taking my car apart again this winter for fun.. :-)

As for the ski hills. We went down to Holliday Valley in NY last weekend to try a new hill.. same drive for us as going up to Blue mountain and its a nice place… but I don't think they got the same snow as us because the hill was just a block of grooved ice.. oh well.. still getting lots of snow to play in this year. :-)

Gimme a shout if you want another pair of hands and I'll see bout coming up.

Mark, thanks for posting this thread, i will enjoy learning from it. ive been wanting to do an engine build at some point, and like others can relate to the difficulty of juggling life, family, job , job changes etc so my 914 had very little done last year + until the past month.
- also a homeschool family, at 48 , 4 kids-my son did it all the way, just turned 21, graduated in spring-had earned a full ride scholarship to USC(gamecocks) and graduated last spring with honors with an engineering degree- we bought the 914 and thought about doing a e-v conversion but found more fun in making it run!, so my 3 girls 17, 14, 9 are also home- one is easy, self learner, one not so much, the oldest now doing dual enrolement of high school/college at the tech school here- dont know it thats an option up there but here it is and is free!! except for books. So anyway just saying i can relate and wanted to get it to the driving point again too, and if we see some delays in postings we can see why, because the kids i can tell you grow up way too fast IMHO!! so enjoy it-

BTW that case looks very clean, who did that for you ?
- thinking about doing either 2056 or 2270 eventually but want to stay F.I., and my D-jet works great so i like to read up on all the variations like Zach's and now your thread.

Sure.... what do you want to know? Made my own adapter ring, uses a type 4 bus pressure plate. Once bolted together it looks a lot like a stock 914/4 flywheel.



Awesome. thanks. I just wasn't sure what needed to be done to make the 3.0 work with a 901.

I'm probably going to build an -6 engine for my next project and then decide what car to put it in. I want to wind up with something that could work in my 914 if I didn't find a car for it later. I've been leaning towards the 2.7 and smaller Mg cased engines since the flywheel should work without some kind of adapter for the 901.

mark,
I miss my 3.0 914. I did not go as far as you have with the engine. Still it ran down the Boxster S's at the track. I ran 205/50 15 tires and it could have used more tire.
Great Build

Well....a bit of squirrel progress today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Since I'm doing the DFL and ceramic coatings I need a good oven. Last summer my sister in law gave me her old stove, I stripped off the top and everything to do with the burners. Cut off all the wiring except for the oven controls and the oven light switch.

Checked to make sure it still worked.

I knocked it over and busted the dang handle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I took it off and I'm epoxying it.

I had this old top hanging around. I bent up the back and side splash...no easy feat as it's 14 gauge and I have no brake.

Not quite finished, I still have to mount the top to the wall. I'm also going to mount my grinder to the corner like so and tie it into the top and wall.

I'll take the controls back out and silicone the into the top so dirt cant get in. Then maybe I'll give a quick coat of rust paint and call it done.
