So I'm test-fitting my engine and transmission in the car right now, and I'm having some problems. Perhaps someone can offer some advice.
Engine is a 2.7 liter, transmission is a 901 pull clutch, mount (for now) is a Patrick Motorsport piece. Issue #1: supposedly the clutch cable to use is a 72-74 911 unit. The sheath is a little short, though, and making a bracket isn't necessarily easy because part of the crankcase prevents me from having a straight shot. I have an idea of how to do this, but I'm wondering if anyone's done this before. Here's a pic: Attached image(s) |

QUOTE Wow !! If I look very closely the first pic, have you converted it to side sifter too ?? Yep. It's a Frankenstein gearbox. The case, intermediate plate, and all the gearing is from the 911. Shift rods and shift console are from a 914 sideshifter box that was sacrificed because an axle whacked the starter, destroying its case. Just for kicks, the nosecone is an early tailshifter piece with part of the casting sawed off so it looks like a 914-6 nosecone. Since no shifting is occurring in that area, a pipe plug now fills the hole. The bellcrank is from the 911, just cut and re-welded to get the proper 914-6 angle. Drive flanges are from a sportomatic gearbox to better accomodate the Frankenstein big CV axles. We'll see how this all works. I'll post more pictures later on this week. Thanks for your interest. I hope to work everything out soon! |
