Yo'll be seeing these soon, I assure you.

Those HEs look like B&B Stainless though the flanges are different which may be for the 3.6 muffler.

I have a brand new pair (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... For 16 dead Franklin's I can save you all that elbow grease & sweat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/FERG.gif) and then you will have the ability to hang out in bars, parties or actually find a date. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

For an additional 3 Franklins + your CORES, I have a set of rebuilt 914/6 rears.

If you have a good passenger side 914/6 HE, we might be able to save you a couple of Franklins and you might finish your project for Route 66 ...

Hell, I'll even throw in a 914/6 t-shirt.

Oh and SheaZack ... step away from the 'puter and leave this one alone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Lol. I'll see what is to become of the HE's. There's talk of putting my engine in the black car as it's already 80% a race car. Should we go that route, I'm doing headers, race prep, fiberglass bumpers, etc.

My car is once again on the lift, and now begins the assembly process. Not gonna lie, it makes me kinda sad to not use the 2.9 that, in my opinion, looks beautiful with all the work that went into it. The carbs, fan shroud, valve covers, etc.

Now I'm focusing on the oil lines. Running them up front, and in the engine bay. It's irrelevant at this point which oil cooler setup I'll be using, my my concern is making the lines work from the front wheel back.

Elephant Racing setup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) But alot of $$$$$

Unfortunately for guys my age, we are usually 'fiscally impaired', so I'll have to use some extra braided lines instead of hard lines. Is there a problem with this? I still plan on mounting them to the body to have 'straight' lines. In a certain aspect, I'de think 'soft' lines would be better for vibrations. Thoughts? Is there a good reason not to do this?

I think these are -12..... I also hope they'll be big enough!

braided lines are fine.. you may want to get a gasket in around the lines as they pass thru the 'long' holes, and perhaps install some adel clamps to keep them apart (for the same reason).

Do you have a pic of where the lines pass into the front wheel well and enter the front trunk? I ask because I'm planning a similar route for my lines -- all flex hose.
thx

Hey Rich, I'm not quite there yet, my biggest concern right now is routing the lines in the Pass. side longs, and in the engine bay. I'm still waiting on my oil cooler, so I'm thinking I'll tackle that end of this week/early next week.

I'm still not quite sure how I'm going to route the lines inside the wheel well, as I like my car really low (occupational hazard of being Mexican). I'll have to check out how others have done it, but I believe they go along the side of the wheel well, or inside the cabin (slightly) and through the gas tank area.

AZ:

Most definitely. I'm going to try to get out to a supplier today and see what they have. At a minimum, I figure I'll need 3-4 2x adel clamps and need to fab up a sort of bracket to hold the Carrera thermostat. I don't believe the 911's needed them, as they used hard lines.

Work, work, work for Route 66! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

3.6 Guys, here's a question for you.... Do I need to trim down the fins on the valve covers like I did on my last engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

You just pulled it out of the black 914 so wouldn't it have already been done if that was the case? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

When I pulled it out of the black car, it had only been in there a short while and I don't think the PO had yet to do a valve job. It'll fit without the fins shaved down, I just think it makes it that much more a pain in the ass.

I've searched a few threads but either can't come up with anything, or have over-looked it.

Wait a minute.... Eric? What are you doing up so early?!

I would do it now. Won't be any easier later.

Doesn't the 3.6 have hydraulic lifters? If so you wouldn't be removing them for adjustment.
