I'll be done Weds or Thurs if I keep my head in it.


Punch list:
drop engine and trans
split engine and trans.
adjust valves
clean engine
replace cam chain cover gaskets
install oil thermostat, lines and cooler
install new "special" trans
put it all back in

If I have time:

brake cooling ducting
new suspension bushings
new fuel line in the tunnel

Right now the car is in the air with everything removed.
Six bolts are all that remain before the engine is out.

Tomorrow will be a good day...a 914 day.


KT

I have an a/x on Sat, so I have to be done.

Dood... just put air-ride suspension on it.

G'luck trekkor... let us know how your new wonder trans works.

I will...It's mainly for the track, as most a/x's are all 2nd gear for me.

Flipped ZD, Q, X

Just couldn't leave well enough alone eh Trekkor? Well, keep your head in it until it all gets done. Otherwise it will be another 914 on jackstands!

Sounds like a cool tranny. LSD?

Just finished breakfast. I'll have a little more coffee and get to it.

Maybe I'll take some pics for the folks...


KT

Pictures are always nice!

Progress report:

Engine is out and cleaned-up
Valves adusted
Other trans is installed
New SS braided fuel line is in the car
All holes for the oil lines are cut
thermostat mount is in place ( front trunk )

Still have to:

assemble and install oil lines
replace oil filter
install engine and re-connect everything
install new exhaust studs
install cleaned fuel tank
replace fuel filter
install passenger seat and belts
replace inner CV joint boots...


FYI:

the oil lines are going inside the car on the floor, along the passenger long.

No pictures yet

my Saturday a/x is questionable


KT

you forgot something...

Correct!

It'll have to wait 'til winter, though. Little short on time right now.


KT

Cool! Your getting the job done and quickly I might add. We need pictures though.

I'm up early and getting ready to go at it.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

If I get the motor in and the CV joints repaired, I'm home free.

I'll take some pics of the cooler set-up today, too.

Pictures...

Another one...

Last One...

I think I'm gonna make it!

Engine is in
CV joints are connected
fuel line and filter are done
cooler, thermostat and half the lines are in
exhaust studs- done

I'll go back tonight at 9:14pm and do some more


KT

did you decide on stock cooler mount up front?

or still tucked away in the back of the trunk?

You'll see

You'll see KT

unacceptable!

i installef the cooler.././and ran the lines. and made it work

but NO ducting or exit hole yet


i suck....you rock

Dig this!

Shroud will come later...


KT

you DID put it there....

why? just eats up more of your trunk space over GT style.....


not trying to be condescending.... just curious. who knows.

oh... BTW - earls is good stuff. i liked it better than the XRP stuff i dealt with also (can tell by single off color stainless braid)

After the low profile shroud is in place I'll be able to put a few things in there if I feel like it.

I really don't take it on road trips.
Last time I put stuff in there was for a BBQ. Big hat and my apron


Hope you like it.


KT

Cool pictures! I like all the updating to an already nice 914!

go trekkor!

I JUST heard the engine fire.

I did it

Back on the trailer and ready to get huge!!!

Had many obstacles.

This was an absolute heart breaker at, say, 9:30 pm

What are the chances anyone will have one for me?
Drop link for triple weber linkage.

Mark just happened to have a loaner for me.
Definately worth a burger.

KT

Thanks also go out to Rich Bontempi at High Performance House. He shipped many parts to make this happen.

Also to Brandon Penserini of Altissimo Restoration in Napa for the generous use of his shop space.

Mark was very helpful. Couldn't have done this without his help.

Thank you!

KT

PICS!!!

It all paid off...
