I have a '74 911 (a project - not a completed car) that is going to be a donor to my 914 with its 3.0L engine. As I'm trying to sell it or maybe part it out if need be - are there any parts on it that I should think about keeping for the 914?

I am keeping the engine, transmission, steering wheel, tach, and oil gauge for sure.

I do know the entire front suspension and some of the rear are interchangeable - but I'm happy with my 4 lug Mahle wheel setup - taking a 5 lug/flares route isn't high on the list. From what I've read, stock 914 brakes are more than adequate for a street car.

Is there anything else that I'm missing that is transferable to the 914?

Well, There are things that directly transfer and things that could transfer.

For example, the whole dash on a 911 could fit on a 914 if you make minor modifications (like your 3.0l motor).

But, the interior, front trunk, etc has no transference possibilities.

Yeah, I've seen some people do the dash too. I'm going more towards parts that I should keep as a backup to my 914 (like the 915 tranny is going to be a backup to my 901). Which the front suspension and rear hubs would qualify for. Just curious if there was anything else - if I'm missing anything.

I will keep you in mind Steve.
