Matt,

Welcome to the Forum. We’ll have you in a 911 in no time.

Does the oil tank have an oil level sender? The range of the float is from full to down two quarts. I think you can see the float with the neck off. The 911 neck has a breather attachment that I don’t see on your Type 3 cap assembly. You absolutely must have a breather from the tank to atmosphere.

Do some Pelican searching on checking the oil.

Show some more images of the engine. Perhaps we can anticipate some problems for you. It would be nice to start and drive.

Was the engine running? How long has it sat? Under what conditions? What do you know about its history? Have you looked in the sump plate & screen? If you haven’t, stop and ask and I’ll tell you where and what to look for. Starting and running an engine that has been sitting is far more difficult than braking in a new engine. You need to be very careful.

I see some tin missing. What is the plan?

Cool project. We had a Porsche 547 in a split window flat-bed transporter once and a ’66 Empi 2.5 911 in a VSWB Myers Manx. Who says we all don’t do silly things.


Best,
Grady
