From his pic.. it appears he flipped the center section over. Some of the mounts on the plenum section are in the stock locations.
Here is stock (and the one I'm working with) B |

Brad, Yeah....mine looks the same. I was planning on just flipping the center section, but when I look at the center tubes it seems like you would have to cut the webbing that joins the two tubes and rotate them to get the alignment correct?? Check it out......maybe I'm being dense or maybe the 964 intake is different than the 993. Mine is a '92 964 motor. I vote for me being dense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Dec 31 2003, 01:16 PM) Ron, I was always under the impression that the stock 9146 engine tin doesnt work with the 3.6 engines (it doesnt fit into the car because the engine is wider and therefore doesnt line up.) Most of the installs I have done are into race cars where we run NO tin.. but my latest 3.6 install is into a stock tub for the street. I know it bolts on but.. I didnt think it would fit into the stock rubber pieces. Please correct me if I'm wrong (I have already powder coated all the stock sheet metal..and it would be NO hassles for me to use it if I can.. but I didnt think I could) B Back at work,now I can give some answers. Yes Brad,the sheetmetal is much modified. The fit in the area of the fuel lines was about 1"short from reaching the cam chain covers on both sides. I spotwelded material and folded it over 180 deg.so it has a nice snug fit in the groove in the chain covers.had to do it to both sides across the front.sides fit ok,back pcs.had to have holes for all wiring and such.Expect about 20-30 hours fab'n to make the aftermarket sheetmetal fit a 3.6l Ron |

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Dec 31 2003, 01:18 PM) Oh.. and instead of me buying the power steering pump block off and buying the lower pulley from somebody who marks it up 100%.. would you be interested in selling me two sets of each ?? B I have to admit,I had my parts made by one of the machinist's here in the shop.If I had to price out the work,the aftermarket parts.blockoff,single groove pulley,etc.are priced pretty much where they should be.I just had material,and guys needing sumtin to do.

QUOTE(echocanyons @ Dec 31 2003, 01:30 PM) Do you have a cage or any chassis stiffening? Did you extend the rear flares to accept the 10's? I did add one of those 10pc.stiffener kits,a roll cage is gonna happen somewhere down the road. Rear flares are an interesting story. They 11"glass units,1st set bought a couple years ago from a place listed as rennspeed.The guy on the phone sounded iranian or sumthin.When I gotem,1 side fit nice,the other fit like shit.So I called the guy and complained,asked em if his flares came from A.I.R.He says no,he molds them himself.Any way,I'm stuck with them.So,I called A.I.R.& order another set of 11" flares from them this time.They come in,and guess what?Both sets of flares,side by side are identical w/the same p-poor fit on the same side.It taught me a little lesson. I do still have that extra set of 11"rs. I am gonna take the glass flares off when I get a set of repo steel flares,and Ill widen em to fit. Ron |

Webbing was removed, It did interfere when the t.b.was flipped. R |

Ron you modified the tin to fit the engine... but does the tin fit the car ? Have you physically test fit the engine with the tin in place into the tub ? This was my concern.
Thanks for the heads up on the billet pieces. B |

Haven't gotten that far yet,but I'm getting close.
I still gotta buy a clutch setup so this summer is the target. One way or another I WILLLLLL make it work. 915 box also needs a T-B diff. So I'm about 2-3k left from boltin it up and goin after the next hurdle. Ron |

Dont let anyone sell you anything special. The stock 3.2 flywheel for the 915 (and sensor ring) bolts right up with stock 911 components to the 3.6 crank/seal. I think I just spent 1000$ for new everything (PP/Flywheel/Disc/ThrowoutB/pilot bearing) Porsche has a "sport clutch kit for the 915's"

OK......Now that's news! You mean I dont need a PMS flywheel?? I would love to run a "stock" flywheel as I've heard of stalling probs with the lightweight PMS unit. Let me make sure I have this straight, I can use a stock 3.2 flywheel ('84-'85?) on my 3.6 engine and use stock 3.2 clutch components??? Is the stock 3.2 emitter ring the same as the 3.6?
Not to snub my nose at Patrick Motor Sports goodies, but they are expensive and I really don't care about a light weight flywheel and the potential stalling problems for a street car. What do you use for clutch linkage, hydro or cable??? |
