I was wondering if anybody is doing what Joe does in NM here in SoCal? I'm not a strong wrench, so I'm wondering if anybody is up to the task of droping in a 2.4 liter T motor w/CIS in my car. I'd need the whole conversion done. I'm guessing I could go without a cooler but correct me if I'm wrong. Its a weekend driver, prolly no AXing.
Maybe you know of a shop that likes to do this stuff? Lemme know. Oh, forgot to add...yeah I'm cheap so I'm looking for someone reasonably priced. Kev |

If you annouce that you'll have beer and pizza on a specific Saturday doesn't the SoCal 914 crowd magically turn up on your doorstep, wrenches and jackstands in hand? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, their giving folks out here...but one can only ask so much. A conversion is prolly a little more than one can ask for steaks and brew. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Use Series 9... it's not that far away, and if you do it now, you may be able to pick it up @ the atomic Ramble....

Maybe I should back up...
Is a 73ish 911T motor w/cis a decent candidate for a conversion? Will it fit without cutting metal? If I wanted to carb it, can I do it without changing out the cams? Is there some reason why I would want to run carbs vs the injection? |

The CIS will be a tight fit (IIRC) but it will fit. The latch for the engine lid might need to be moved. That is a good engine for conversion. You don't need to change the cams with carbs. If you were to change to a wilder cam you would want carbs of MFI.

need a CIS fuel pump etc....
the intake boot needs to be shaved and the engine latch would need to be relocated..... carbs can take advantage of wilder cams. |
