Finally getting my 914/6 together and one question I don't think I've seen asked is what tank is best in your alls opinion. Stock/reproduction oil tank or go real cheap just use a 911 oil tank( will work fine ?)(just gonna have to figure out how to mount it?) Don't be that cheap! or get a Peterson 16 qt up front and be done with it ? More oil the better? Dropping in a 2.8 later may switch to a 3.6. Is it all about $ or How nice you want it? or size of motor and what ya going to use it for. It's going to be used 95% of the time as a weekend street car and it might see a DE a handful of times in it's life. Thanks for any insight into this decision.

Please read up a bit more and then go the the wtb/fs section and bingo theres one on there for sale at this moment or the guy that's makes them you can contact ,don't forget the oil filler pipe,oil filter console,oil lines return and suction,tank breather hose,it mounts up to be very expensive and then you add an oil cooling system for the larger motors.
You could just contact PMS and get what you need but that's $$$$ that you could spend elsewhere.
