[tygaboy]

That's a clean machine!

Thanks Steve and Chris; I am getting pretty excited. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here are a couple photos my brother took yesterday while we worked.

I slot Cairo's car in the "Museum Piece" bracket.

Show only, no use application.

It REALLY looks too nice to drive!

I'd have that insured through Hagerty's for a significant valuation.

After the 3.6 is done 200K is not out of the question IMO.

The 901 looks tiny in comparison to the monster 3.6

@technicalninja - Thanks for the extreme compliment; however, I actually drive this car regularly. It is not a trailer or garage queen. It was purpose built and I will continue to drive it as much as possible. We have put just under 10K miles on it since it returned to the road in August of '20.

You are going to have to redo the plumbing for the fuel system. On the 3.6, the fuel inlet is on one side of the motor, and the outlet is on the other side. The 914 fuel lines are on the same side of the motor.

So you either have to move the fuel return line to the left side of the the chassis, or rework the fuel plumbing on the engine to bring the return line back over to the passenger side.


Good Luck.

OK - one more thing to add to the list; good to know. Thank you Clay for keeping an eye on this so hopefully we avoid some of the pitfalls. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

When I did my 964 motor, I rerouted the fuel lines on top of the engine so they both came out on the passenger side to match the existing fuel lines in the chassis. I would suggest that you do something like that. Most 964/993 engines need the fuel lines replaced anyway due to them becoming brittle with age.

Aye, i forgot about that. I went with the stock location for the lines (Stainless from Tangerine) and then extended the supply line across the rear trunk wall (above the engine) to the driver side using metal tubing similar to the Tangerine lines.

Kinda hard to explain, let me see if i can find any pics.

which is also where i added the fuel filter, right before it feeds into the injection rails

We will definitely look at this the next time we get to work on it. Thank you again Clay @ClayPerrine and Andy @SirAndy for helping us out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I tool the pressure line on top of the engine apart and rebuilt it with new hose. When I did, I flipped the center section so the fitting was on the side next to the battery tray. If you look close, you can see it in this picture.

It is between the two rear intake runners,and under the injector rail.

Just ordered the cylinder head temperature sensor; hope it arrives quickly. I can't believe I did not notice that before. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yesterday, Greg, my brother and I went to the Diablo Region PCA Wash 'n Shine at the Danville Livery (Sycamore Valley Rd and San Ramon Valley Blvd). It was a terrific day with perfect weather. There were a whole lot of Porsches in attendance. Amazingly, only 2 993 cars attended, a '98 and a '96. We needed a '95 OBD 1 car.

Fortunately, Alex had reached out to me and said he had a '95 993 and lived in San Ramon. He was only 7 miles from the car show. Greg and I drove to his home and saw his absolutely stunning and pristine 993 Coupe with about 60K miles on it. We were able to take photos and look at harness routing. That will certainly help us get one step closer to getting the engine installed. Thank you very much Alex.

Here are some pictures:

I am guessing we don't need the heater fan blower sensor or the charcoal canister valve assembly? @sirandy where did you plumb the charcoal canister connections? Normally one goes to the shroud and one goes to the air cleaner. On the 993 it goes through a valve assembly that connects to the intake manifold.

You are going to need the charcoal canister solenoid to keep the DME from setting codes. And you can plumb that back into the 914 charcoal canister system.

The 914 charcoal canister system is a blow through system. The 993 charcoal canister is a suck through system. You hook the line for the charcoal canister that originally hooked to the fan shroud and hook it to the air cleaner Hook the other line to the 993 charcoal canster valve that connects to the intake.
