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.

V2.0 laser cut now Why buy PMS with quality like that ,top notch Ben ($200 cheaper than PMS),as mentioned the 911 tank is a no go ...ask me how I know,bought one real cheap with the intention of modifying it or making my own using parts off it ,just not easy,selling it to a 911 guy who can't find one so all is golden. As I have mentioned before the PMS filler doesn't work with a stock tank (dipstick length) sure Ben will have his fitting right. |

As I have mentioned before the PMS filler doesn't work with a stock tank (dipstick length) sure Ben will have his fitting right. I have one of Ben's old tanks and fillers. Fits and works great. New tank looks even nicer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Ben took the measurements for his tank from my original 914-6 tank so that's probably why everything works so well. |
