3.0 into 912?
California changed its smog rules reciently and my 1979sc now has to be smagged every 2 years for the rest of my life. So, I'm starting to look at different options.
Can my 3.0 engine go into a 69 912? How difficult is this, what do I have to do or is it just so much trouble its not worth it. I saw a 912 that I kinda like but need some advice. |

My 66 912 has a 3.0 in it. The PO installed a 2.0E with carbs, I know it took modifications to do it but I'm not sure what all they entailed. I know you need 911 rear engine mounts and a 911 oil tank, cooler and lines. I removed the 2.0 and intalled the 3.0 with MSD ignition and carbs for simplicity. My car runs the 70-71 911 (901 with late type clutch) trans and it's a total blast. With fiberglass fenders and bumpers it weighs around 2000 with me in it, total go-cart.

Just about everything short of the VIN will switch over. And that is probably what you'll want to do
 Drivetrain, spindles, sway bars, torsion bars, shifter, and any aesthetic items or comfort.

My 66 911 was rusted so I bought a 912 shell and put the runnung gear in. Then I got a 82 wrecked SC and put the suspension in it. Then i put in a hot 2.7 and the car is real cool. I stripped the motor mount sheet metal off the 911 and just welded it in the corner. No brainer. cot a hole and in goes the oil tank.
