1972 Porsche 911 RS - 3.6L DME / G50 Trans
This '72 911 was a wreck when it showed up on a trailer towed in from San Diego. The customer wanted to have a car with super performance, and the comfort of A/C. The 1995 Porsche 993 3.6L engine was selected for installation in this project car. This engine is OBD I and features the twin plug ignition system. To fit this engine in this older Porsche 911 chassis, several modifications are required, the dash and power brake sheet metal work was the most intensive (see detail in photos). We have installed the wide variety of our special 3.6L DME engine conversion parts. For this project we installed the Porsche G-50 type transmission converted to SBH (short bell housing) configuration. This modification required our specially fabricated mount with other conversion specific parts and hardware. The clutch system is the 240mm Centerforce DF255255 which offers high clampload with minimal increase in peddle effort. The flywheel is our 9.5 Lbs CNC machined billet steel unit which features all of the necessary timing reference features for the 3.6L DME engine coupled to the SBH G-50. Because the car will utilize the 993 type air conditioning system, we cut and removed the older style 911 dash support. We then grafted in the new type 993 dash which has the updated air ventilation features. The seats chosen are Corbeau XL Sport version which required specialty milled brackets. We then ordered and installed all new interior leather and lining materials.
