These carbs were in a 911, so I assumed they were going to fit in my 914. I'll wait until the engine is in to decide which air cleaners will fit.

Or, some one with a /6 conversion can let me know how close their filters are.

I think they will work, only an inch or too difference on these manifolds.

Stock 911 airbox won't fit. (Crashes into engine lid) Hell, the stock airbox is close with the factory length intake manifolds on my car, and I've gone back and lowered the front of the engine by 1/4 inch... If you run the PMO K&N watershield combination, you will probably have to trim the passenger side rain hat away from the aft engine bay bulkhead. That extra 1.5 inches or so makes a pretty big difference.

In all likelihood, standard K&N filters without rain shields will probably fit not problem.

Are those the PMO "tall" manifolds?

They are taller than stock. 100mm is what they look like they measure out to.

I started on cleaning up the extra trans I have, It looks rebuilt, the fluid is perfectly clean, so I'm going with that one, keeping the original one for the car as a back up.

So far, so good....

I installed the engine tin seals, on the rear one, which side goes up? The wider skirt, or the narrow?

I forgot.

I bought a set of engine tin from Bruce, it's off to be powder coated and picked up the RSR deep sixes today.

Though they're not ideal, the K&N air filters with the Weathershield air cleaner housings are a reasonable way to solve the clearance issues.

That's what I ran, never had any issues with them.

As best as I can measure in the car , my PMO intakes are 85mm tall and with the K&N filters and rain hats they just barely clear the rear bulkhead.

My K&Ns fitted without weathershields just the top cast alloy piece on ,I very much doubt the weathershields would clear in my situation,I didn't have a lot off space from the bulkhead ,you need to allow for a small amount of engine movement also.
With the stock manifolds I have room to fit the original plastic air filter and the lid will close but I had to cut off and reposition one of the spring clips so I could latch it up.
I have noticed the stock air cleaner is a fair amount quieter than the K&Ns but takes up a lot more room (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
There isn't a lot wrong with the original not when you compare aftermarket ones ,they all seem to have drawbacks of some kind or another (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .

I finally took the plunge and cut an access hole in the firewall. I'm actually surprised at how easy it was. I had a spare firewall piece, and I made a great hatch for it. It fits tight, and appears to be completely fireproof.

You will be so happy you did that. A friend of mine convinced me to do it.

Have a completion party and invite some folks over to help get it done. It looks like you are down to just installing the engine and a couple little things? You are almost there.

I'm pretty much at the point where I'm going to list the whole project for sale. I'm over it. Too much disappointment and frustration.

I don't think I can finish this thing, maybe someone else wants to take a shot? I'll probably part this mess out.


This is the moment you most need to carry on. Been there, done that. Felt the same way.

If you sell it now, someone reaps all the reward with only a sliver of the input. It will be worth it...if you doubt that, come by for a lunchtime drive.

Lawrence, stick with it. When you drive it all your hardships will turn into big smiles of satisfaction.

I'm still fussing over details, and have to stop myself to just go out and drive.

Keep the faith dude.

I can't remember the number of times I issued that edict during my Subaru conversion. Considering the number of folks that had done Suby 6's support was marginal at best. If I hit a brick wall, I moved onto something that I could do. By moving back n forth thru tasks it eventually happened. You just need a beer or 3. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Kent

Been there, done that with this type of conversion. Let me know if you want a hand over the weekends getting over the "hump"

One drive in a 914-6, and all the stress will become worth it.

Pm me for my cell number if you want it.. happy to help
