The problemis I don't know what I am looking for so I thought someone hear could send me to a site that compares 6's ( T's S's E's?) 2.0 - 2.2 - 2.4? Costs etc. Tx Doug

Not another one! Group: Benefactors Posts: 4,526 Joined: 1-March 04 From: San Mateo, CA Member No.: 1,743	Bruce Anderson's book on 911s has all the data you need plus a lot more. Porsche 911 Performance Handbook or something like that. No current data on costs.

I have always liked a really light flywheeled 2.2-2.4 S spec engine in them. My favorite has always been a 2.5 short stroke motor on carbs. It just feels right. Maybe it's just me. Erik

This is the center of the 914 world and we have no such area for either 4s or 6s.....like a thumbnail sketch of these cars ....8 or 10 of each available in one spot.

The best you can do is read old threads here and on Pelican's site. Also, go to 914 events in your area and ask for rides. I never met a member who turned me down. I've been in everything between a tired 1.7, a 2.0, a warmed over 2.1, and a monster 3.2. The 914 feels just right starting at about the 120hp 2.1. It's got plenty of power, can chirp the tires in 1st and 2nd, and makes the 914 everything it should have been. I'm sure 150hp would be even better. Beyond that I think a high horsepower 914 ideally needs a limited slip, a 915 transmission or at least a regeared 901.

Yes, lovely..........
I was thinking of a thumbnail section with 8-10 of the clubs member's cars....35-40 examples of the breed......4s, 6s and "other", each having 4-6 pics and a brief discription of the car, it's use, and general driving qualities. A club blog, if you will, with the represenative cars picked by the admins.

One could plow thru the members rides thread, but that's become huge.

Bruce Anderson's book on 911s has all the data you need plus a lot more. Porsche 911 Performance Handbook or something like that. No current data on costs.

My dad got Anderson's book to figure out what kind of engine he had in the 911, and it was great. Invaluable resource. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) I really like that idea; the members cars page really is too huge to run through when trying to find a car:D

I'm looking to build another daily driver, only this one I want 120-150hp 6 in it.
I'm not going racing just cruising around town.
I was hoping to have something with carbs, (as an old mechanic I like something I can work with) and still have some drivability.
Something like this would have been nice if I could have driven the 2500 miles to pick it up.
6 on ebay
