Hello,
Can an aftermarket external oil tank be installed in the factory 6 location without removing the Type 4 engine in a 1973 914? I would like to do all the conversion work that I can before dropping the engine. Thanks! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Pre fitting the tank really won't save you any time. Especially if you are welding in a bulkhead engine mount. Just do it all at once and have the space to do it right. You may need ss fuel lines. Again, tons easier to do with the engine out. Some people remove the stock 914-4 engine mounts. You don't have to but just depends on how far you want to go. The right side mount is often hiding rust.
