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. |

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. |
