I'm going to look at a guys speedster (kit car) today as he wants an engine. He has a 2.2 that he was going to install, but is scrapping that plan, as he can get me to build him a T1 and be driving it in about 4-6 weeks. (I quoted him the price on a T4 conversion but it's too much $ for him.)



I know nothing about it, I "think" it has webers. I know the hp ratings of the different 2.2's but how do I tell if it's a S, etc. It was out of a running 911.

What are these engines worth?
Would it be worth doing?
What questions about it should I ask? etc.

Depends on what it is and what condition it's in. A 2.2T engine that is worn could easily go lower that some of the parts on a 2.2S engine (cams/P&C)

If it's stock your HP is limited to the following:

T = 125hp type 911/07
E = 155hp type 911/01
S = 180hp type 911/02

You'll want to see an engine "type" number at the base of the fan support on the right hand side of the engine. It should be clearly stamped 911/07 or 02 etc.

Also... check out the serial number. E.G. 671xxxx would indicate this is a 6 = six cylinder, 7 = T motor, 1 = built in 1971 and the last 4 would be sequential build numbers.

With a T motor you would need S P&C and S-cams to make any serious HP. An E motor would be a nice fit but... both E and S motors of that vintage (2.2) would/should have MFI. MFI can be fit into a 914 but it's very tight from what I understand. The trunk divide leave little room if any for pump adjustment. I could be talking out my ass as I've never seen one, I've just heard about it. I did see a picture once so someone's done it. Carbs on either engine would probably be the best solution. MFI is expensive! (ask me how I know).

Hope that helps...

Oh... Price. Anywhere from $7-800 for a worn T motor to $5-6k for a fairly fresh S rebuild. Doesn't help much but, if you can narrow the type down and the condition I could offer more.
