i did 3.2 with my oem -6 mount - no problems - you can't use a 3.2 AC dual pulley - must use single non-AC pulley (i had 2 3.2's - one was AC the other non-AC, so i just used the non-AC pulley - iirc any older 911 single pulley should also work)
 (p.s. thanks for buying the Bott kit!) p. p.s. - for all: i have an oem -6 mount FS |

Thanks for the input guys. The 3.6 did not work out so I went with a 3.2 engine instead.
I have a single belt pulley from a 3.2 here. Once the 3.2 get to me I'll mess around with the mount. I believe it should work just fine. Thanks Larry for selling me the Bott kit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

That is good to know.. Stock oil line may fit then.. |

The 3.2 stock A/C pulley is easily cut off. On one conversion that I did, I used the 914-6 mount. On the others, I used modified 911 mounts with much shorter arms. Been doing it that way ever since. Of course, my front engine tin is a bit different than the stock 914-6 piece to accommodate the modified 911 engine mount.
I seem to recall that some of the later air cooled 911 engine cases are slightly different where the 914-6 mount and the 911 engine mounts bolt on. I think they added a threaded hole at some point and early mounts can be used if a stud is installed in the correct hole. The later mounts used the other threaded hole. (It's been a while since I've converted one, so perhaps I'm dreaming this up.) |
