Porsche Engine question

[Wally]

I have gone that route about 10 years ago and even got myself a 2,7 6-cyl 911 engine for it (as they are the last ones with the magnesium cases: less extra weight).
With a bug-tranny moved foreward about 1 inch, I could get the front pulley just in front of the rear apron in original position !
However, the fan sitting high on top of the case in that position, made closing of the deck lid impossible. I even had plans to move the fan to the other side of the engine and drive it off an original cam pulley (which is there with the Kugelfisher mech. injection engines)... There is a Karmann Ghia in this country that has done s/th like that way back then.

Then the then new inspection rules made it near impossible to use a 6-cyl engine on an original 4-cyl. type-approval...so I sold the whole lot.

Regards,
Walter

Wally, on the Ghia you mentioned (way back when) any way for me to search this info?

Since I have three Supers, my last will be a type IV or a big A$$ 911 turbo, so any German site for me to follow

Hello FV,
With 'this country' I meant the country I live in, which isn't Germany
The Netherlands is a small, but souverein country west of Germany...

So, the white Ghia is a dutch car and the owner doesn't visit forums afaik. There may be a pic s/where of a meeting he went to, but I wouldn't know where to look.
Sorry...

Best regards,
Walter
