Oil tank test fit after cutting.
The scavenge hole is big because there was already a hole there for a breather line from the old engine. Attached image(s) |

Mask and paint. Don't worry about the black paint. It'll be a little oily around here:

It looks like I only took one picture today.
The fuel plumbing on the engine passed with no leaks. The other work consisted of running a couple of wires from the engine bay into the main harness in the tunnel, getting the fuel pump wire to its appropriate location up front, finished the last grinding of the passenger-side /4 engine mount and got that area painted, rewrapping the wiring harness in the engine bay, etc. I'm trying to make sure I get everything that is easier to do with the engine out done so the engine can go in. Nelson's 914 needs a couple days of work, so I'll get back on this next week. The engine will be in the car shortly. Attached image(s) |

We'll call this a test-fit for now. I may not have to take it back out, we'll see.
The muffler is a little crooked. It was a lot crooked until I removed the muffler hanger. I'll have a make another one that will hold it straight. Attached image(s) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Beautiful, Joe.
I may have missed this in an earlier post - what muffler is that? |

Hey Joe,
I don't like how close the scavenge line adapter is going to be to the exhaust. I found a better alternative to the Setrab fittings for my application at a local hydraulics shop for $8. This screws right into the case and replaces the factory M22 to M30 adapter. The orifice diameter is no different than the factory adapter. Part number 9068-12-22 3/4" Male JIC x M22x1.5 Male Metric (Steel) which comes with a sealing washer. Also found here: http://www.discounthydraulichose.com/9068_...tric_p/9068.htm YES, I know my engine case is dirty. It matches the transmission! |

Hey Joe, I don't like how close the scavenge line adapter is going to be to the exhaust..... I'm looking at those, but I have done it like this a bunch of times. I put a 120 degree fitting on the adapted outlet and run the scavenge line either forward or back to the driver's side, depending upon the thermostat arrangement. |

I have one of those for my GT clone too.... Thanks, guys. How neighborhood friendly are those? A: "Wow that car sounds great!" B: "Nice car but it's kinda loud." C: "If that A-hole from down the road drives past here one more time I'm gonna throw a brick at him." |

C: "If that A-hole from down the road drives past here one more time I'm gonna throw a brick at him." I ran the muffler for a short time in the old 3.0 and it sounded great. Not loud at all. It has that low bellow sound, like a tiger. |

The only other 3.2 914 up here I know of has a twin pipe but I think it's a 911 sport muffler - Dansk probably. He may have even made it himself from an old single out banana. It is LOUD - like race track loud. I'd love to hear your impressions of the M&K when Joe has finished your 3.2 |

Turns out that this is the same size as the adapters for the Setrab oil coolers. M22x1.5:-12AN Male.
Is this better? Attached image(s) |
