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! |

More progress being made and I have moved along to the engine compartment. I'm using an aftermarket oil tank (I believe it came from Patrick Motorsports maybe 10 years ago). Here is my current questions:
Are the holes into the inner fender simply centered on the embossed areas? I've seen some hole sizes posted in other threads, would one or more of these holes be better if it were larger/smaller? What is the best way to mark and cut the holes? I'm thinking of carefully marking and then using a plasma or a nibbler or a saw to open the holes larger and finishing off with a die grinder with a carbide burr or using sanding drums. I would think hole saws would be dangerous, but might make better round holes. Do most folks remove the 4-cyl engine mounts or leave them? My last one, I cut them out and while it looks nice, I recall that it was a lot of effort. Last one for now. What is the best way to reinforce the engine lid hinge mounts? I've never had one crack or fail, but both of them on this car have been welded or replaced. I typically have my hand on the engine lid when I pull the release cable to prevent the engine lid from springing open and hitting the back edge of the roll bar. I guess my dad must have taught me that. Thanks again for your input. |
