still waiting for a box of nice and shiny new parts, this is what *should* be here by next weekend ...
- 30 feet of oil-lines
- mocal H-style thermostat
- mocal remote oil filter console
- fluidyne oil cooler
- porsche motorsports oil tank

that should keep me busy for a day or two ...

Lookin good
what did you decide on routing your oillines?
I don't like running the lines going through the passenger compartment (with the possibility of turning the car into a frying pan)
And I'm definately NOT going to cut holes in the outer longs (like on the factory GT's)

Andyman, cool front end man. I have a thing for the GT front end and now covet those chubby fenders. I will deny the evil call of the saws all, no matter how much you tempt me with these porno pics and try to have at leasest one teaner to drive and another to

If it weren't sexy, it woulden't be addicting and that 3.6 tickle spot is just evil.

i have a plan ...
mark and i bounced a lot of ideas around, no matter what route you go, it's never *completely* satisfactory. every way to route the lines we could come up with had some shortcomings.
the only way to get a perfect oil-line routing is to move the cooler to the rear or the engine to the front.
both solutions are not very appealing to me ...
so, i'm going to run the lines along the pass long *inside* the cabin. they'll be insulated and covered. that should do the trick ...
i'll let you know how it turns out

That's how I did it. I need to insulate as well. You can feel the heat.
Should have it done soon, too.

So, do you two have any more detail on that tank, yet? I'm leaning heavily towards the DWD tank and OEM-style oil lines (I think the DWD only has the OEM metric fittings), and having someone weld up the feed pipe under the oil cooler for the 30mm fitting.
Thanks mark, I need to know how much to budget for my front oil cooler install.
James, what's your timeline? It's on order right now and so it should be in very soon and you can come see it in person. It should be a really slick setup for conversions.
I'm hoping to gather all the parts necessary by the end of the summer, so I'm not in a big hurry, just wondering.
gonna use headers? why not go thru the heater tubes?
should be fine your way too... just make a cool metal cover for them

yes. headers. for now ...
but it's always going to be a street car also. i'd like to be able to get heat in there again one day ...
Andy
more stuff got done ...
but first, let me show you one more reason why i think sandblasting your car is not a good idea:
rear wheelbearing, made a nice crunchy noise when turned by hand
Click to view attachment
now on to some progress ...
new axles with brand new 944 CVs, on top is one of the old stock axles, on the bottom is the new axles, using early 911 hubs (~69-7?), later 911 stub axles (~75-7?), new 944 CVs, modified 914 axle shafts and later 911 output flanges (~75-7?).
Click to view attachment
and installed with the new (unbend) trailing arms, new koni adjustable shocks and mueller roller bearings. perfect fit, except i'll need a spacer for my big vented carrera rotors ...

That's a gud lookin' oil cooler.....to gud for a 914.
You're supposed to have one of them cheesey black ones on a 914.
Hummm......I may have offended some one with a cheesey black cooler. It don't count as I'm in shock from trying to chop my finger off.......I'll be back to my normal inoffensive self in a day or 2.

SirAndy, I am new here, great project and finish, you have gone to where I wish I could go.. very nice, looking forward to a convertion myself, need all to do all, extra parts I will work for..
great car...

alright, time to start a conversion thread. i picked up the engine a month ago and started with the prepping of the tub today.
didn't get too much stuff done, oh well, babysteps ...
the ToDo-List (striked-out items are done!):
============================================
i'm going to
============================================
ETA: soon enough to run a full season for
got some more stuff done this weekend ...
/4 motor mounts are cut out, so are the brackets for the relay board and mps and some other little schtuff ...
PO's holes and cut-outs have been fixed and re-welded. front oil-cooler shroud and support is done. oil lines are in.
but most importantly, she's got a new motor!
test fitting the motor, ass way up in the air ...
Andy, I think you should make that first pic the 914club image of the month (best Christmas present ever!).
we made a "custom" 993 motor lift so we could balance the motor on a floorjack. worked great!
those will be available in the "914 Resources, Parts and Products" section shortly. $499 plus shipping.

first testfit to find the best location for the bulkhead motor mount ...
cleaning the area for welding ...
voila!
and last pic, with the intake mounted ...
the motor will have to come out one more time, but next we're going to hook up all the oil-lines, engine harness, fuel pump etc. get it all good to go, then drop the engine one more time to clean up and respray the engine bay, clean up the motor and tranny and that should be the end of it ...
can't wait to drive her ...

Are these 993 engine lifts going to come with a coupon for a lap dance?
Great job guys! Sorry I missed the fun.
Celebration!! 
It's going to be nice.

to make x-mas will be a tight schedule, i was actually aiming for my birthday, which is mid-january ...
either way, i can't wait ...
Andy
I'm surprised and pleased by how well the lift plate worked. Making the motor in and out was EASY. Much easier than I expected. We're on a really good track to make the birthday deadline. 
The oil cooler venting won't be 100% done, but it'll be fine for street driving.
It's nice to make progress!

Are the cases the same from late 83-98? Could one use that balance all of the late types of enignes on something like that?

well, what do you know ... i actually got almost a full day of working on the car today.
if mark hadn't forgotten the code for his own garage, i could have gotten even more done ...
turns out, it was actually good to have stepped back from the car for a while.
i'm freshly motivated and at the end of the day, it looked like we're pretty close to get her fired up for the first time.
i'll be putting in two more full days this upcoming week.
can't wait to drive her around the block!

Hi ANdy,
is it a common practice not to use the screw holes for the engine mount? I am on the way to weld in my mount and i am not sure if i should use the screw or weld them like you did.
NIce work on your car Hope you can drive soon
If you've got a welder, why bother making extra holes in the body. Set it on the lip, center it and ZAP!

Set it on the lip, center it and ZAP!Thats my thougt, but i have no expierience with the rj mount. The instructions says bolt and welding. So you think the welding is enough? It´s also a cleaner installation.

I got my six mount from Rich Johnson. It was never bolted, just welded. If there is a good welder, the bolts are not needed. Rich said the bolt in is just so you can drivethe car to someone who can weld the mount in for you. And I had the body shop do it while it was there. I even had them weld in the holes for the bolts in for extra strength.
I would have no problem putting a 3.6 on one of these mounts with just a good welding job holding it in.
