Had converted my 1973 to a /6 15 years ago and had an engine failure at a track day, and it has been apart and in boxes since. Finally decided it was long enough without my 914 in my life, so started to get it back together. Here are few pics of what I have been up for the last few months in my spare time.

Engine: 2.4 w/ 2.2 S pistons, Solex Cams, 40 IDT Webers

2.4 S with 2.2 s pistons and with the head work that was done should yield about 10:1 compression. As for the power, a friend has this same exact engine and it makes about 160 Hp to the wheels and the power band is very wide with the Solex cams. His early 911 with this engine is seriously fast like beating similar cars with 3.0l engines.

Stude is not mine. My friends car who is helping build this engine. Cool car thought.
