How do you put a 911 motor into a 912

[jwerion]

I am considering using a 912 body for a track car project and using either a 2.4 or 3.0 ltr motor with a 915 trans. Does any one know if this is a difficult job and or how to do it. Thanks Justin

Yes, it's possible and not too difficult, especially for a track car. There are a number of posts on this topic, just search. Also a recent one (3 weeks old?)

I have all the parts you need to do that, if you deside to email me at gregkone@yahoo.com

jhelgesen is the guy to talk to...he's got a 911 powered 912E.

are you actually taking a 912 apart? or is it just a shell?

Thank you every one for your input. I think I will do it if I can close the deal on the car.

Loveland colorado eh?
I went to highschool in that town. Thompson Valley actually.
I live in CA now, but it's a nice little town. I don't remember seeing too many Porsches out that way back then...

The first 911 I ever remember seeing was a bright green one while driving through Loveland when I was like 6 years old when I lived in Berthoud. I was sitting in the back of dad's black beetle and we pulled up next to it at a light. Since that day I had wanted a 911. Now I am enjoying my 80SC on a near daily basis.

I've done that . First, acquire a 915 shifter. Second, depending
on which year 915 you use , you will need the corresponding half shafts along with the corresponding axle stubs. The early 911,
912's had a small trans tunnel so just take a ball peen hammer
to the tight places. finally, you will need to install 911 engine
mounts if the car is a 912. cut out the 912 motor mounts and
weld in 911 motor mounts. install the 915 trans along with
the 911 engine and use these as a jig to weld in the 911 mounts.
On the early 911/912 cars a 915 will bolt right up to trans mounts.

kurt B when did you graduate from TV and when was the last time you visited Loveland. Justin

There has to be a few guys on the list who have done this. I can't imagine it would be that difficult. I mean, what were the differences between the 912 and 911 setup?

[atlporsche]

engine mounts...the 911 mounts are about 4" farther back...the 912 mounts aren't in the corners....other than that....not much. both engines bolt on to the bellhousing the same.

wiring...and 4 pulse tach...
