I have a chance to pick up a 71 911 (no motor or trans). has anyone every put a Type 4 engine/trans into a 911? What problems could be incountered?
Why you ask? Cause I have the engine and trans and don't have $7-8K to spend on one.

The factory did it with the 912E, so it is possible...
You might have a problem with the exhaust system though (if you want heat)
cheers,

If things work out right.. you may see more 911's with T4's. Come on Jake.. we need a 3.0 T4.
I think a 7:31 early 915 would be the way to go with a 2056 with a nice cam.

As long as we make that 915 conversion flywheel.

I think I have a "912" badge sitting around somewhere from when I put my 1600cc T1 912 engine in the Ghia. I was contemplating putting that on the decklid, but good taste won out.

I am currently working on putting a 2.3L Turbo Type-4 in the back of my 912. The project has to go through now as I sold my nice 912 engine in the quest for more power.
About that flywheel...are you sure they make a flywheel for the 915 with the type-4 mounting? I am currently in the market for an early 915 tranny.

I would be willing to help anyone with a running 911 do a type-iv conversion. I'll supply the type-iv and will even haul off the old six for you.

used to be a factory part, no idea if they're still available, or if tyhere were bellhousing changes on the 'E (i remember -something- about that, can't recall details...)
takes clutch pressure plate 901.116.001.01 and clutch disc 914.116.011.01 - flywheel 022.105.273.A
