So I have had years of fun working on my 4 cyl however a few weeks ago I saw an ad in the classifieds section for a 1970 911e 2.2l engine w/zenith carbs for sale. I decided to buy it. I never had any plans for converting to a 6 cyl until now.
Here are a few basic 6 cyl conversion questions- 1. What is the best motor mount to use? 2. What size headers should I buy (1.5")? 3. What oil tank should I buy (I don't care about originality, just looking for best combination of function to cost)? 4. Are stock 1970 911e pressure plates usable on 914 side shift transmissions (the pressure plate looks flat- it doesn't look like a 914 pressure plate)? |

Unless you go for something aftermarket, the stock design clutch is the one you have to go with. A 2.2 clutch is a "pull type",. You would have to use the 2.2 flywheel, mega-bucks disc, cover, and release bearing, and you'll have to replace the pivot ball with a different type, moving it to a different location. You'll also need a (NLA) clutch fork and a different clutch cable. Other than that, the swap is cheap and easy ...

The Cap'n I have these parts that I'm not going to use, I went with the conversion 228mm bus set-up instead. The PP is not in good shape, flaking on the edges. It's the aluminum shoe and would need to be re-coated. I'm not sure what Porsche used on this, Nikasil maybe? To use this you really need a 911-901 trans housing. I'm using the DWD tank, I think the Patrick tank is the same, expensive but nice. Still less than a good real /6 tank. |
