Okay so here is my teaser! I've always wanted a 914-6. I finally took the plunge & bought one. Most of you are probably thinking it is a v6 or some crazy thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . You've got a week to just sit there & wonder

Super interesting. I took some photos on the piece in question. You can see with the aid of my unparalleled Photoshop skillz what the top and bottom of the holes that were modified for your setup look like.
Note that big hole houses one of two oil pressure relief valves. I have a worry that perhaps you might be missing one if the PO just drilled this out and welded on a fitting. It does have the advantage of clearing the firewall with ease and I like that they point straight up. I also like that the PO took the time to install an oil pressure sender, so he must have been cognizant of the oil pressure issue at some unmeasured depth of his psyche. On other conversions (incl Dr. Evil?) I've seen that the oil filter is simply cut where I show the red line and then two -AN or other fittings are drilled and threaded into the two corresponding tubes. I realize that the more I learn about your engine the more work I make for you. Sorry. |
