Suppose you had a 70 era 911 with no engine and a 914 engine sitting around. What would it take to install the 914 engine in there and make it work? I like the idea of the 76 912, but I am unsure of whether you can find everything you need to make the 911 + type IV combo work, when the car is not really a 912. I really love 911s, but I don't like the 6K+ engine rebuild costs.

All you have to do is pick up the phone and call parts heaven. They will have the mount.
However, I would say just take your time and find a good used 6 for it. You should be able to find a good 3.0 for around 3500ish or I just bought a good 2.7 for 1700 delivered to my door complete with CIS, fuel accumulator and relay board. I figure to make it run right you would need to get a 912 gear box, which may mean axle / hub issues. Then you have heater issues b/c good luck finding 912e heater boxes. You will have to find a 912 tach or have yours redone. Lastly, you will suffer from HDD... I think that converting to a type IV would be as expensive as finding a good used 6 IMHO ... Shoot if you want a 4 just sell it and buy a 912 if thats what your after. |
