As some of you may know already, I picked up an original 914-6 motor and will be replacing my 2.0l 4. on my phoenix red
I know ths s not a big 3.2, but this s a cool upgrade for me. So far I have located all the extra components to complete this conversion. Engine tins headers muffler - triad oil cooler oil tank -Velios with filler neck and dipstick bell crank for transmission to carbs I will be looking for the oil lines. If I am missing anything please give me your expertise. A picture or oil lines diagram will be helpful. The first thing i would like to do is bench test it. As always, all advices are welcome and appreciated Related thread Related thread Thanks Paul (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

All the best with your conversion. I completed mine last year. Have an original 914/6 Case rebuilt with 2.2 PC's, E cams, larger valves, weber 40 IDA 3C1's, MSD, stock distributor with points, headers and Leistritz sport muffler. It's a lot of fun to drive! You can see my build thread (bcheney six conversion). |

You can see my build thread (bcheney six conversion). The hardest part of the conversion was the oil lines and things for my 3.0 going in after that it wasn't too bad. Iam no mechanic so I wouldn't do it again. but it was very satisfying and rewarding. I found a 2nd gen Mazda rx7 oil cooler is nearly the same demensions as a Porsche front chin oil cooler only a few mm difference and can be found a@ carid.com |
