I tried searching, but didn't get much.
What is involved with fitting a 2.7 with CIS in a 914? I can figure out the plumbing and the electrical, but I believe that I had read long ago that it was a PITA to fit CIS without cutting anything or perhaps a mixture of different parts could be used or parts of the intake could be relocated in order to get it all to fit. I'd prefer to avoid cutting this 914 engine compartment since I'm trying to make this one appear mostly factory. Any advice or better yet pictures would be appreciated. I'd rather not go with carbs, since I believe that I'd need to swap cams and pistons in order to do it right. This one is only going to be a fun street car (I already have a dedicated track car) (All my conversion experience has been with 3.2s, but I have this body, and I have this engine...) Thanks in advance! |

Hey guys - someone pointed me to this thread as there seems to be a few questions about our 914/6 conversion mount.
I've never heard anyone say there was oil line or shift rod clearance issues.. we've sold over 3 dozen of these and use this mount in both of our own cars - Huey has a 3.2 stock engine with stock shift rod and stock oil tank location, and Papa Smurf has (had) a high compression engine based on a 930 case with the Tangerine Racing shift rod assembly and oil lines seemingly running everywhere throughout the car (oil tank up front). Both work fine. No need to space the trans mounts. yes, it will sit your engine down a slight bit lower than stock, but that's because the mount needs to clear the brake bias assembly. All the aftermarket mounts have this issue. FYI, we modeled this after the Patrick Motorsports mount - which I broke twice. My fabrication guy took one of the broken mounts and redesigned it for extra strength and support. Haven't broken it since, and we push over 360 hp through these mounts. If anyone HAS run into an issue, please call or email me directly, I'd be interested in knowing what the issue is and if it's something we can rectify. But to date, the only one that we ever had a problem with turns out was installed upside down...oops... |
