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! |

From various threads, I see a range of sizes for holes, some metric and some Imperial. Some larger and some smaller. Here is what I found and from measuring my tank, I made the attached full size 11x17 templates. I figure if I start with smaller holes, I can always make them larger, but it's tougher to go the other way.
One more question: Does the fitting for the return line in the lower right corner also help support the tank or is the tank only held by the two 8mm studs (bolts in the case of my tank)? These PDF's should be printed on 11x17 and no scaling. The centers match up with my tank (fabricated aluminum tank from Patrick Motorsports, but I think a member here actually made it) 914_6_Oil_Tank_Holes_11_17_1.pdf ( 7.19k ) Number of downloads: 69 914_6_Oil_Tank_Holes_11_17_2.pdf ( 5.89k ) Number of downloads: 62 |

Use the template you have attached and ensure it fits your tank.. All tanks are a bit different . |
