Why is there a dent in the back of the air cleaner?????

Only way it would fit so had to massage it. Spent a ton of time on this. I have the engine at stock 914-6 height but the air cleaner just was a PIA but I refused to go with k&n setups. I purchased a few housings but all from 911s and required modifications before the engine lid bracing would clear


Ben I had the same question.
The engine tin looks to be at the right height.
Tall manifolds ? Phenolic spacers ?
Did you try a 911 plastic housing ?

Phenolic spacers , standard manifolds off a 71 T, no never wanted plastic it just scared me when I was running fuel to the carbs but now that it’s fuel injected maybe.

Yes for sure the proper height as you can see by sheet metal etc.

Weird.. When I put the 73 T motor in my car, I didn't have to alter the factory air cleaner at all. But it was MFI.

I wonder if the MFI air cleaners are shorter? The steel ones have no forgiving factors

here's a Lubral sticker I pulled off an early 911 air cleaner...long time ago...may have been on a Euro delivery 911....Lubral with Dutch colors used in Europe

somewhere I have a few pics of the 911 metal and plastic air cleaners side by side...
the MFI where plastic like the 914-6 and seems to me both were a little thinner...not as tall/thick

You know what will drive Ben BATSHIT crazy!

Someone else needs to ask "Why the dent" every few days...

Ben,

Where did you put the injectors? Did you modify the manifolds???

Would you post a detailed picture of them?

Thanks,
Clay

I thought so. I was just checking on it. JP builds good stuff. I saw one of his EFI conversions at the Hill Country Rally a couple of years ago.
