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)? |

Stock oil tank placement is how the car was engineered....good design. A stock type tank that doesn't leak will serve you well. 1.5 headers are fine. If you need heat, it will be $$$ to find a good fitting pair of exchangers. Not so bad if you don't need heat. I have a Patrick weld in engine mount that I am VERY happy with. And yes, get at least stock /6 type brakes. I have '69 aluminum calipers up front and SC calipers in the rear with the parking brake....this is on my track car. Stopping has never been an issue.
Great thing about these conversions to a 911 engine is that they have been done so many times and for so long that you don't HAVE to reinvent the proverbial wheel. |
