Evening all,
I’m looking for recommendations for the following parts for my 6 conversion.
1, oil tank
2, tinware (fibreglass is fine)
3, flywheel for 901
4, heat exchangers oversize if available
5, quick mount engine mount bar
6, E cams
7, anything else I’ve forgotten!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
David
David, I've been looking into possibly doing a 6 conversion and a few other things come to mind.
- oil lines. I think there's a few that are unique to the 914-6.
- most aftermarket tanks also need a filler neck and filter mount that are sold separately.
- a 911 tachometer or a tach adapter. A 5700 redline just wouldn't look right if using an adapter. I'd have to have the face redone.
- oil temperature and pressure gauge for the 6. Maybe head temp too.
- hand throttle control may be handy.
- accelerator bellcrank and cable. There's probably numerous ways to connect the throttle linkage, but will likely require some attention whatever the choice.
- I think the transmission shift lever may interfere with the 914/6 heat exchangers, so you may have to replace this with one that's straighter.
I'm sure there's plenty more items... the more I research into doing it, the longer the list grows.
