I have the chance to buy a 72 914 that has been in storage for 20 years, it has some rust under the rocker where what I think is the jack mount area but other than that it is about rust free. It has been in a garage, motor doesn't run and it is a 5 speed. Next the same person also has a 75 911 Targa that has been sitting for years , this one is a rust bucket but supposedly only has 8k on the rebuilt motor it is also a 5 speed. I can get both of these for a steal. I would like to transplant the 911 motor and tranny into the 914. what else can I take from the 911, I know I can use the front suspension but what else can I use?
Welcome to our crack habit
I would get the stuff home then figure out just what all is shot on both cars and work out any title issues on the one you want to build BEFORE you spend a great deal of time on either. If it turns to crap you can part them out and recoup your $$$

How difficult is it to make this tranny work in the 914?

I originally wanted to do a v8 conversion, but this deal came up so might as well keep it Porsche..... for now. If I have to use the tranny in the 914, how much more could I do with the 2.7 that's in the 911, I've built many a motor over the years and raced quite a few, but they all were American, but a motor is a motor and I'm not afraid to tackle anything. Is it possible to use the rear brakes and rotors and put them on the 914, I know the rear suspension is different. Is there a thread here to put me in the right direction?
