914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914-6 upgrade to 2.4 questions

Posted by: brp914 Nov 6 2004, 10:55 AM

Hi,

Any experts out there know if I can use 2.7L crank/rods in an original 914-6 case? If so, can I use the original flywheel and clutch? If not, can I use a 915 flywheel/clutch with the existing clutch cable and gearbox

thanks

Yes, you can but.......

If you haven't bought Bruce Anderson's book, I would recommend you do so. He describes the many permutations of the 6 cylinder motors with their strengths & weaknesses.
Research.....repeat 3 times....before you spend any money.

I could give more advice, but I'm just another internet wanker

Yes you can, makes a torquey 2.1something, Plus more compression .Your six flywheel will work too, But the timing marks on the flywheel will be off .just time off the front pulley. It never hurts to lay crank in and double check case clearance.I havent had any problems with the ones Ive done. Cost versus end result is one of the best for the money, If the rest of your motor is decent. Jeff

I agree with JP Look before you leap
