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! |

Well done John. Do you have any in progress photos of a fender installation? Or can you write up the steps you used? Specifically I'm interested in how you mounted the fender to the car and how you cut the old fender, keeping the new fender in position.

I did one thread on it: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=89850&st=0 Looks like John is installing sort of similar. Looks great! |

On this set of flares, I started the first one by carefully marking and cutting the fender then fitting the flare to the cut fender. The last three flares on this project were done how Dan showed in the thread he referenced. His thread is from a while ago, but it turned out far easier than cutting the whole fender at once. The basic method used was to carefully measure and mark the bottoms of the flares to the existing fenders and starting tack welding and cutting about 7-8" at a time then tack welding. I moved from front to back and worked my way up to the tops of the flare as I went. They really do fit nicely. Take your time and put as little heat into the sheet metal as possible. I'm far better at MIG than TIG, so these are MIG welded one spot at a time. I used measurements that seemed to match found on this site as well as on a Patrick Motorsports page to get the openings positioned fore-aft. I also used my existing full scale 3D model as a reference for dimensions. |
