914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Petrolicious article - 2.8L engined 914?

Posted by: Cal Aug 16 2018, 08:36 PM

Here's a pretty good article that was posted yesterday on Petrolicious regarding a 914/6 GT replica.....

.......towards the end of the article they talk about (12) special engined 914's. Apparently when the 3.0 RSR 911 came out in the early 70's a lot of folks wanted to upgrade and swap out there smaller 2.8L 911 engines for the 3.0L. Someone had the great idea to install these left over smaller 2.8L engines in the 914 and (12) were built.

Has anyone heard about these (12) special engined 914's before.....or is it simply a myth?

I have not heard the story but just heard that the first 914-6 prototype used a 906 engine.
