3.6 conversion part II

[warpspd]

I have the engine ready to go into the car with a fresh sachs
power clutch and Timmins flywheel. I am going to install it
in the morning. Here are a few of the pics of finished engine
ready to go into the car. I did the engine mounting bar
mods myself. We will see how close I am when I put it in
on saturday. I hope that I cut away enough sheet metal on the
engine tin. I also added some sheet metal up front by where
the power steering pump used to be. After I get it into the car
I still need a few more things to get it back on the road.

New CV's
K & N filter
Oil tube from right side to S tube
Fuel lines
Mount oil cooler up front and lines

Here are a few pics of engine....

[k9handler]

so are you going to get that heater tube from Thom?

[warpspd]

Yeah probably am. One thing though. My distributor did not
come with the fresh air plug. Where can I get one of these..

[MichiganMat]

dang, everybody is doing a 3.6 drop lately. I hate to ask, but how deep are you? It seems you've gone pretty light on the upgrades, no cams, etc.

[warpspd]

Yeah I am pretty deep so no major mods for me except a
autothority chip and K & N filter, cat with no muffler...

[Bill Verburg]

K & N filter

I wouldn't use the K&N or any other oiled filter. Among other reasons the MAF doesn't like oiled air.

Looks good, what oil line are you planning to use to connect to the oil pump on the drivers side of the block?

The kit is something like $10-$15 at the dealer; maybe Pelican has it?

[warpspd]

I am probably going to use the pipe from timmins. I am getting
parts sort of one at a time to try and save money if possible. Do
you have a solution to the oil pipe to S hose? I am using
factory hard lines on the left side to oil thermostat. The main
thing that I am worried about is the wiring right now. I dont
want to fry my dme or anything else out. Can anyone help me
out on the wiring. I bought a timmins harness so from the
dme forward I am ok but on the 14 pin engine connector and the factory 14 pin connector on my car I am a little hazy....

[Kevin Stewart]

are you talking about the pipe you have to extend from the motor, if so i have one you can have, FREE, just make sure we are talking about the right pipe, Kevin

[warpspd]

Kevin

The pipe I need extends from the right side of the engine
and far enough to attach to the S hose to the oil
tank. Is this what you have? I will pay for shipping...
I need a power steering block off too..

[Bill Verburg]

There are 3 choices of the right side pipe, straight, angled up and the B&B ss S hose replacement, which you use depends on the exhaust, w/ stock 993 headers just modify the stock one, w/ B&B headers use the angled(that's what I did) or use the B&B S hose replacement. There are pics in Craig's recent swap thread.

The only issue w/ the facory hardline to the oil pump on the left is that it runs right by the block oil filter making an oil filter change a bit more of a project. That's what I have as well. Tyhere are 2 filters that can be used on the block., I have found that the short one is easier to change. I need to look up the # on that.


As far as the pins go, contact Steve, as long as you are buying parts from him I'm sure that he can help. He just did my '76 C3 to 993 last year.

I would modify the stock one only the place where I bought my
engine did not include it.
I might try and source a used one, along with a throttle
cable as that did not come with it either...

[wot]

Hi,
from the pictures it looks like you cut down the rear engine tin a bit much, on mine i did not cut i at all I just shortend the whole thing about 2 cm and it fits just right


not my pickture but mine look very similar

[warpspd]

With a little help from 4 buddies and 1 hour later its in...

The install went very smooth. Just solve a few electrical
hitches and I will be back on the road again...
Here are some pics of the engine back in the car

[warpspd]

Anyone that has done this conversion email me I have some
electrical questions on the install...

[david.avery]

Looks great... what are you going to do for a muffler?

[warpspd]

Has anyone ever used screw on barbed fittings for the fuel lines?
I found some at Roy Rogers that I am going to try instead of sourcing
them from a 3.6 litre car. I only have a few bucks in them and if they
dont work then I will move on. These fitting that I bought are for
fuel injection applications so they should work. I will post some pics
of the fittings and lines later.


Is there any reason the my stock filter from a 76 911 wont
work for the conversion. I mean a filter is a filter right? It is
rated at pressure as it was for the cis injection....

[Jim Smolka]

Congrats on the project.

The CIS fuel filter is rated for higher pressures than most other FI filters.

[warpspd]

If the filter is rated for higher pressures does this mean it will flow differently? I know that on the cis injection you have to run the fuel
pressure accumlator to keep the pressure up but I ditched it and going to
run just the filter strait through.

[warpspd]

Here are a few pics of the fuel lines and fittings minus
hose clamps


I have another problem with the O2 sensor plug in. On the
engine harness it has a plug but on the sensor it just has
four wires. I dont know which is which?
