914-6 conversion procedure, Anybody written it up in detail w/ pics? Options

[campbellcj]

I have been wondering what all is involved, labor-wise, and how much of it I could sanely tackle myself with my somewhat limited tools and mechanical capabilities.

The "parts-list" has been regurgitated over and over again, but I don't recall ever seeing a detailed write-up of the actual conversion procedure. Anybody know of one? I'd like to learn more about the oil tank installation, throttle cable setup, etc.

I will probably have the shop do the majority of the work, at least the stuff where plasma cutters, welders, lifts etc are needed. But I might tackle certain tasks myself. Time is more of an issue than money, overall. (Not that money isn't a big issue too). Saturday morning and anything I can squeeze in (quietly) on work nights between about 9pm-midnight is all I can possibly put in.

I acquired a Vellios bulkhead mount (weld-in type) at a good price. I'll be using a factory tank. Probably the Rich Johnson style throttle bellcrank kit and basically all the other "standard" conversion stuff. The car will be running headers and megaphones and I might leave the tin off as discussed in a previous thread. It will be carbed and conventional dizzy/coil/CDI single-plug ignition. So really it should be a pretty clean install, basically just factory-clone stuff. "Dirk Wright Syndrome" should be minimal. Replacing the fuel system (with a cell, new lines, pumps, filters etc) is about the only deviation from normal street conversions.

One reason I asked about existing write-ups is that I will plan to take a significant number of pics, video and notes if nobody's really done that kind of documentation (online) before.
