I bought the car back in May. Ran fine from Columbia SC to Banner Elk, NC then down to the shop near Charlotte plus a few drives in the mountains. |

Take Air Flow Meter off. Otherwise it will hit the rear trunk. You will need to angle it towards the front to fit. Check my blog for pictures.

Your oil cooler needs to be modified with a 90 degree fitting welded on. Rich Johnson does it - I used him. See: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=4319
Also isn't the PMS motor mount great? So glad I paid the little extra for it instead of the normal bulkhead welded mounts. |

For me it was easier to remove the airflow meter and then modify it to fit after the motor was in the car. Otherwise the AFM will hit the engine lid latch and prevent you from installing the motor. I actually just put the motor back in the car a month ago. I am using extenders from Pep boys and a MSDS Cone filter and his adapter. You can also click my name and then check my blog to see pictures of how i used the stock air cleaner. Here are some links to a couple of pictures in my blog.

Its been awhile since my last update. Here are some current pics. John found a little rust (there is no such thing as a rust free 914) when his shop was removing the old 4 cly. mounts. We decided to plate the area and add a chassis stiffening kit.
Its been going a little slow but the transaxle has been rebuilt including a billet intermediate plate. Its all bolted up ready to install once the engine compartment gets painted. I am going down Friday to see it in person and hopefully see the engine / trans installed. Can't wait to drive it! Attached thumbnail(s) |

Now that the metal work has been finished up, the engine and transaxle was installed today. Notice the billet pieces on the transaxle, hopefully the 901 will handle the power of the 3.2.

I've been running my 3.2 with a 901 since 2006. Guys run 3.6's. You'll be fine unless you really plan on beating on the car. Cool conversion! |

901 will be fine with a 3.2...that's what's in both Huey and Papa Smurf.
Hey, I stood under your car earlier today just as they were putting the exhaust on. Nice car...you ARE bringing it to Okteenerfest...right? John said you're going... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
