I just got my 3.6 for my SC conversion and I am stoked! It's a 95 993 euro motor. Here are a couple of pics

Here is another

And the last one. On this photo, on the lower left, you can see the rear cam exposed - is that where the power steering block off goes?

Yes, that's where the block off plate goes. You will also need to fab some sheet metal for the engien tin in that location to make up for the loss of the pump. Now for the fun part!

Sweet lookin donk mate!!!

Looks Awesome!! Unless you already have your conversion pieces, bite the bullet and get your parts from Patrick Motorsports. If you get parts from Instant-G, do NOT use the Timmins throttle cable.

I would also suggest using the stock 993 heat exchangers. Thom Fitzpatrick's CF cup tube is an excellent investment.
Tre Motorsports has an excellent center mounted Setrab cooler kit. If this is an OBDI engine you MUST use at least one O2 sensor to maintain any idle at all and to keep from running rich, if it's an OBDII you will have to have at least two O2 sensors.

Enjoy!!

code7. Dude, Where do you live? I am in Monterey county. Would love to come check this out (if you don't mind). Very cool. I would kill to put a 3.6 in my SC.

Another 3.6SC -- join the club!

Jack Olsen · 07-29-2003, 06:57 PM

Looks beautiful! Where'd you find it?

Trust Me · Trust Me's Garage

It's not the one from ebay is it? Florida?

code7rpd · 07-29-2003, 10:07 PM

I got the motor from one of the board members - rednine. He gets them from Germany. Thanks for the advice on the kits embs, I plan to use the Patrick motorsports throttle cable and the rest will come from Instant G. I have to tell you guys - I never would have considered a 3.6 if it weren't for the tons of info you guys put out on this forum; the forum inspired the confidence to attempt this project and stand by, I am sure I will have tons of questions! 'Trust me' - I live Lafayette,Ca - in the east bay and you are welcome to check it out anytime. I am having it towed to a body shop on Thursday to get painted. I am going from metallic blue to 993 midnight blue. Once I get it back I need to get the cooling done - I will be using a widemouth cooler with a fan and a Setrab front mounted unit. I'll post pics once I get it back from the shop with new paint and the 993 dash I am putting in.

You can reach him at: http://vintagebus.com

He has a ton of well photographed DIY stuff that has bailed me out on multiple occasions.

If you don't mind, @ how much did you give for it? What contact info do you have for him? I emailed him (rednine) twice and he hasnt answered me in 2 weeks.

Wow! Congratulations. You got this together in a hurry.

What are you planning for exhaust? I have something new, cheap and sneaky planned for mine.
