Been a long time lurker. I have a 76 and seriously thinking about doing a six conversion. Specifically looking at a 3.2. Will I still be able to retain all the smog related equipment. Or will fitment issues force me remove them.
I want to make sure I can still pass smog inspection. Thank you for all the great threads and inspiration. 914world rocks!!!! |

I have a 1976 914 and I decided NOT to install a 6 on it because even having friends at DMV and CHP your car will be up to the referee and you could be doom in a second. You can install any engine the same year or newer. You must retain all smog equipment and electronics of the new engine. You will then have to take it to a referee station to get it certified, must have CARB stamp on it.
I looked in to vin swapping but wont take a chance... ease to do but too risky. I decided to run my 76 stock with FI but going light weight by removing front and rear bumpers, hood, trunk and new skin on the targa top all replaced with fiber glass.... 250 pounds will be off the car which is like adding 25HP to the motor.... engine rebuild with euro pistons,cilinders and carrillo rods, light and balanced crank, head work and mild cams, racing 911 flywheel gives the engine a fast spin reaching power band sooner than stock making the car faster... top speed 125mph @ Cal Speedway main straight.... with 911 Carrera front end and brakes and super light weight Fuchs the car runs with the stock 911 and mild prepared boxters on the short tracks with no problems and it out brakes all of them! |
