Ok..I'm getting very close to putting this engine permanetly in (finished wiring harness, finished fuel lines, test fiitted engine)! I'm now tidying up small things like where to put the charcoal canister and where to hook up some of those lines coming from the throttle body area. One long thinner hose that routes with the oil tank lines has been nagging me on where it goes. Turns out it's an "air recirculation line" that, if I read right on the 911 forum on pelican, connects into the filler neck on the 911 oil tank. Question, is this even needed for our conversions? If it is, what did you do to tie it in?
Also, I'm using my 75 (was mounted on the rear of the engine wall) charcoal canister. The 911 on an 84 (per my manual) only shows 1 connection from the tank and 1 connection to the air box. It has no connection from the fan shrowd like the 914 or older 911's. Is this connector on the canister just left open to suck fresh air in? Thanks as usual...Jim |

I have been looking at V8 conversions, but wonder how difficult it is to do a 3.2. Would you recommend the 3.2 conversion? Any advice or lessons learned for someone starting a 3.2 conversion? Is your motor turbo charged? Thanks, Jim Attached thumbnail(s)
