So I bought a 616.916 with manual transmission, I've never owned anything like this before so there are lots of new things to become familiar with. I intend to use it in something like a Model A speedster but I'm still looking for a chassis to start with. In the meantime I want to get the engine running well.

It came from a W115 that was being swapped to a 2JZ, owner said he drove it for a while with the 616 and always wanted to swap it. So when the starter failed he pulled the whole thing out and started the swap rather than fixing it. I have not tested the starter to confirm.

I built a test stand for the motor, just waiting for motor mounts to arrive so I can finish it up.


I've been looking over everything and I was hoping you guys could help answer some questions I'm having a hard time with, since I never had a whole car some things are just unclear when looking at this.

1. Where does the valve cover breather tube connect to? On some pictures I've seen it goes to the fitting on the bottom side of the intake manifold, but there is no where for it to go on mine and I don't have the tube itself.


2. What are the bolts on the intake runners for?
