i'm pretty much a stock 914 guy (76hp 1.8L L-jet whooo-hooo) so i myself haven't done a -6 conversion but...

i've heard anything > 2.4L needs a front mounted oil cooler like the 914-6 GT front cooler like thru the bumper...

my guess is a factory -6 oil tank is best... but $$$

i don't know what you should know before hand except for the depth of your piggy bank and how to wipe that grin off your face when you floor it (with a 3.6L???!!!)

i've heard that the factory bulkhead engine mount is preferred to the quick 6 mount; something about shift linkage getting in the way. also, need to make sure the 901 transmission will handle the HP output of the engine or a least realize you can't side step the clutch and do burnouts...
