What do you have to do to mount a 1974 2.4 6cylinder engine the the 914? Do the engine mounts line up perfectly? Does the 901 transmission work on it?? Please give me all of the details!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

That really depends on you?
Are you competent enough to do a clutch on a 914-4. If you answer is yes, then I would say you can do it. If no then, you know! Search on this site for 914-6 coversion list, someone has posted this already. Erik Madsen |

First you have to find a '74 2.4 6-cylinder engine. Now, '74 was the first year of the 2.7 for the 911 engine, that's going to be some trick. Of course, if you mean a 2.4 engine from some non-Porsche, that's a different issue, and probably means fitting a radiator...
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Seriously, do a search. Six conversions are discussed often and at length. Fitting any 911 engine from '65 to '77 will be roughly the same amount of effort. |

Roughly $4500 in conversion parts to go to a six motor if you use all new parts. If you are a swapmeet louie and know how to cobble shit together you can do it for way cheaper.

You guys need to edit that thing. You still have my half-assed comments tacked on from 6 years ago! Some of those prices are also no longer valid.

Look for a conversion already completed and if you can afford it buy it. Also look at a V8 drive it and make your decsion.

There is a ton of help here on the list. Once you find an engine, the rest is easy. There are tons of part avaible from people here including PP, Rich, myself etc. It just depends on your budget. But help will always be here for you. The mechanics of the conversion are not difficult. These might help:
