So.... I got all these cool parts, straight trade, his junk for my junk.
Doesn't matter how I look at this, a big four adds almost 0 value to a 914, stick a six in and it's worth a lot more. Especially here in Canada! I'm actually down sizing from a 2.7 T4 to a 2.0 six (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) I got a 75 911S with 69T 2.0 engine and trans, plus four fuchs. I could break this and make a nice tidy profit, but I don't like to tempt fate. I think it would be bad karma to pass this up. I only have 2 of the four fuchs right now but I'm asured I'll have the other 2 and an extra seized 911 engine. No info other than it's seized. The engine has a lot of cool stuff on it 40IDA webers, a 69S dizzy, permatune and turbo lower covers. The guy also said it has "hot cams" so my fingers are crossed and maybe there's some more goodies in there. It turns over nice, lots of meat on my 215mm flywheel (nice) and the cam lobes look good. I'll be doing a rootworks special and will make most of my own parts. I was hoping to use the '75 5-bolt rear hubs, but I think it's the wrong year. I'll get a set of rears hubs off of Eric. I have everything for a 2.7 nickies T4, I'm glad I haven't put it together because it now going in my bug. Almost like fate man, far out. I have no money, but I have a whack (I had a whole other stroker engine for the bug) of nice T4 stuff that will be in the classifieds real soon. I'll be listing some stuff today (and later this week) here first before the samba! I'll trade for /6 parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) -- Cheers Mark Attached image(s) |

Oh well you cant win them all, still worth it, I did get a set of 40IDA's and a 69S dizzy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) There is another 2.2T core local but then I'd have two bags of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Anyone got something interesting for sale? or trade for type 4 parts?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) 67 S cams and 69 S Ported heads that sat for 20 years in the car. I am putting on fresh 2.7s heads and a custom cam. This is to get better mid range power.

Bob It would be cool to have a mighty mouse engine, I can even get JE repops of the S pistons and cylinders ($1500), but bigger is better and the rebuild costs the same. I know where some cores are and I have the whole winter to scrounge. I'll rip the top end down on the bastard 2.2 and see if it just needs rings and a valve job or if it has some pulled head studs. If I have to split the case then it's parts on ebay. |
