I got a bunch of new or rebuilt parts with a 914 I picked up that I am selling to fund a 914-6 conversion. GEX rebuilt 2.1 engine with many performance upgrades including 96mm pistons, counter weighted crank, align bored and port and polish. Zero miles on the engine. Long block with distributor $2,000. Dellorto DLRA 36 carbs with manifolds, linkages $450, New Stainless steel heat exchangers $750, Bursch muffler $250

Picture of engine below, has old plugs in it and some parts bolted on that have not been cleaned up, but can send detail pictures of the engine, just let me know what you want to see.

interested in the bursch can you add some more photos

Posted by: dherr Aug 18 2021, 05:20 AM

Where in MD are you?

Posted by: kkid Aug 18 2021, 06:41 AM

I will take the new heat exchanges if they are 2.0.

Posted by: dherr Aug 18 2021, 07:46 AM

Pictures and more details. Engine was a performance build by GEX but never installed and sitting for many years. I would go through it completely to make sure it is good to go, but this is an opportunity to get a nice engine with some good performance upgrades for 1/2 price of a new one if you are willing to check everything and clean it up. Picture below of the head with the valve cover off.



Bursch Exhaust System





Stainless steel heat exchangers - I have two sets, just cleaned up the "used" set, but both are decent. The newer set is not new, but appear to have been lightly used or perhaps bolted on the car but never really driven on.

Heat Exchangers newer set $750



Heat exchangers - used set $650



All this stuff will end up on Ebay by the weekend, but thought I would offer it here first.

Check out the pictures as I have two sets, the "new" one is not new but lightly used, the second set I had to clean up, but are still in very good condition. Let me know if either set will work for you.

Heat Exchangers appear to be 1.7/1.8 units rather than 2.0

They fit on my 2.0 engine, how can I confirm they are correct for a 2.0? Car is in pieces so I don't know exactly what I got.

Posted by: GBX0073 Aug 18 2021, 09:15 AM

I would like to purchase the bursch
Will send a PM

Posted by: nditiz1 Aug 18 2021, 09:28 AM

Ok im not far from you in Mount Airy.

Anyway the 1.7/1.8 can be used on a 2.0 with changing the hanger bracket I believe.

Posted by: dherr Aug 18 2021, 10:32 AM

Bursch muffer is sold.

Posted by: Literati914 Aug 18 2021, 11:27 AM

You can see the ‘kick up’ of the heat exchanger pipes towards the rear of them…so that tells you it’s not for a 2.0L, which have straighter more level pipes. Yes they will fit a 2.0L engine but you’ll need a 1.7/1.8 muffler bracket and 1.7/1.8 muffler. Which begs the question… was the Bursch a 1.7/1.8 or 2.0L unit ?

Flywheel, Sachs Clutch cover and Clutch disk for a 2.0. Brand new, old stock, still in the original boxes. Flywheel is covered in cosmoline to protect it, clutch cover had some minor surface rust from sitting in the box, but all are brand new and 1/2 the normal price. $350 for the set.

Posted by: dherr Aug 18 2021, 04:46 PM

Engine and carbs are sold (pending sale)

Posted by: kkid Aug 18 2021, 08:47 PM

I am looking for a set of 2.0 so will pass these.

Posted by: dherr Aug 18 2021, 09:27 PM

No worries, these will go on Ebay over the weekend, but wanted to offer them here first. They fit my 2.0 so did not know the difference.

Interested in the heat exchangers, total shipped to GA 30566

Posted by: dherr Aug 19 2021, 07:06 PM

Just sent you a PM

Posted by: dherr Aug 20 2021, 08:35 AM

Flywheel, clutch set and the used set of heat exchanger are sold, so only thing left is the newer set of heat exchangers.

Posted by: dherr Aug 21 2021, 09:32 AM

So the Bursch muffler is for a 1.7, not a 2.0. Same for the remaining set of heat exchangers. Both are still available $250 for the exhaust, $750 for the heat exchangers

Posted by: GBX0073 Aug 21 2021, 11:52 AM

Confirmed / Verified 1.7-1.8 Exhaust

Engine is still for sale, the previous buyer backed out. I know that GEX does not have the best reputation, but this engine has all the upgrades including align boring the case, the counter weighted crank, larger pistons and balancing. I priced it at 2K because it has been sitting and is beyond the warranty period. But at less than 1/2 the price of a rebuilt 2.0, I would take it apart, inspect everything and reassemble to be sure you have a good engine. If it does not sell, I'll do exactly that, have a reputable machine shop check the crank and heads and then sell if for a whole lot more.

Carbs are sold.

The 2.0 rebuilt engine and last set of heat exchangers are going up on Ebay today. The carbs, exhaust, and one set of exchangers are sold.

This engine is a great opportunity to save some money in exchange for a little bit of work, strip down and inspection and a new gasket set and you will have a great 2.0 for less than 1/2 the price of getting one built now.

Got a shipping estimate to 80126 for the engine?

Posted by: dherr Aug 30 2021, 11:49 AM

I do not have it bolted to a pallet yet, but I can tell you that the 911 engine that I am having shipped to me for my 914-6 conversion was $475 shipped from Nebraska to Maryland, so I would expect shipping this to Colorado would be similar.

Up on Ebay now

If the engine is still available , with carbs and manifolds,
I have an interest

Posted by: dherr Aug 31 2021, 08:28 AM

Engine is available, but carbs and manifolds are sold.

Posted by: jesiv Sep 4 2021, 06:06 PM

Sorry if I am being redundant but has the engine ever been started?

Cheers
James

The builder's site says they do hot run test the engines, but it has not been run since it was shipped.

Posted by: dherr Sep 5 2021, 08:08 PM

Engine still for sale, but up on Ebay now, sold the last set of heat exchangers.
