 I should know this., Does a Type IV bolt up to the transaxle in a 68 912? |

I ran a type 4 engine in my 68 912 for 15 years, worked great. use a 914 flywheel and an early 911 clutch set up. some will say that you must change the gearing in the 912 trans to get the engine to stay on the pipe but I was satisfied with leaving it stock. fair amount of fabrication involved with the install, motor mount, engine tin, wiring,etc. good luck Randy |

I was fortunate to get some 912E tin several years ago and a mount that I think will bolt in. Just finally getting around to looking at this car again. I have a set of 911 Thermo head cracker heat exchangers and a 911 muffler I am going to try to use. I will need to build a custom set of headers to connect to the HE. I heard the muffler may not fit between the rear fo the car and the engine... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) We shall see. |

I saw these 912e heat exchangers are for sale on Pelican the other day. It may be easier and bolt right up. https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911...o-reactors.html.
Ditch the thermal reactors or gut them. Busch made replacement pipes for the thermal reactor and muffler. |
