some six conversion issues... Options

[meursault]

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:

That is a really cool conversion.
I wonder if the 70/71 911 trans would work with a stock 3.2 flywheel and clutch.
I'm using a stock 914 trans with a kep flywheel clutch kit.
That's weird about the return line.
When I had my 2.7 I was running a stock 914-6 metal return line to the tank.
I had to replace the fitting on the motor with an earlier fitting to make the stock 914-6 return line work.
I'm now running the stock metal 911 return line but its cut off in front of the motor.
It has an earl fitting welded to it so I can run an external thermostat.
The mocal thermostat connects to the tank and a GT front oil cooler.
The cut stock metal 911 return line is a tight fit between the oil return tubes and the heat exchangers but it works fine.
I would check with Jim at Patrick motor sports.
My return line works great.
I'm also running a stock 911 oil cooler that was cut and a 90 degree fitting was welded on. The fitting allows me to run AN fittings and a steel braided line to the tank.
All my metric to an adapters came from pegasus.

Best of luck with your conversion.
We're all very curious about your trans and CV combo!!!
