I had a dream, It was about a 6 Options

[DavidSweden]

I had a dream to install a 6, that was a few years back and I even got a 2,2T motor but the project didn't get off the ground, anyway as I have run out of things to do I thought I might resurrect the idea.

According to the PO the motor came out of a running car and I want to make sure that it runs before I commit to installing it.

What do I need to do to get it running?
I do not have a spare gearbox for the starter or an oil tank is there an easy way to fire it up without (or using substitutes for) these parts and what about the electrics, there is a coil but I think I need more than that?
Any help much appreciated as I know nothing about these engines.
PS:
It looks like the motor has been opened up at some time there is a lot of sealer on the case seam behind the flywheel, do you think its been opened?

To run the motor out of a car you will need:

1. Oil tank and lines. You can use a 911 tank. They are easier and cheaper to find.
2. CD Box for ignition.
3. Flywheel, pressure plate and ring gear. The ring gear mounts to the pressure plate on the later 911 engines.
4. Transmission... or transmission bell housing (to mount the starter)
5. Tach, oil pressure and temp gauges.
6. Fuel pump and tank. You can use a gas can for the tank.
7. A stand to hold the engine and mount the gauges.
8. A battery and cables.

You will also need to wire up the ignition and the fuel pump to a switch to turn off the power, and the wires for the tach, oil pressure and oil temp gauges. You will need a starter button to start the motor.

All of this can be done. But it will take as almost as long and cost almost as much as installing it in your car. And by putting it in the car, you have it ready to drive if it is good, and you have a converted car to put another motor in if it is not.

Good luck!
