[BK911]

Thinking about selling a car I recently picked up.

Reason I am selling:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...242358&st=0
Also because I actually prefer my 1.7 over the -6.

Car is complete minus engine and induction.
Includes 914-6 engine tin, heat exchangers, oil tank, etc...

Basically all you need to do is install another engine and go vroom vroom.

Asking $10k but have a little wiggle room.

Just to put this out there, this car uses a quick-6 engine mount. There is no OE or aftermarket front bulkhead engine mount installed. Not sure if it matters to those interested but it would matter to me if I were interested in the car and it wasn’t immediately noted.

Just an FYI.

Just to be clear, you have no interest in the car? But felt compelled to imply that I am being deceptive? Uh, ok.

I am not an expert on -6 conversions and really dont know the difference in the different mounts. I will be happy to take and post any pictures of ANYTHING that ANYBODY would like to see. Even those with no interest in the car.

Also, I do still have the 2.2S engine. I will probably put the engine back in this weekend, unless the roller sells before then. I took it out for a buyer that was supposed to pick it up at octeenerfest but backed out. Should have gotten a deposit before I wasted a couple of nights in the garage.

Is the quick 6 mount that inferior that I should be trying to source another type? I have a welder, and it would be no big deal to spend a day to install something necessary. Dont want the engine to fall out going down the road!

A Quick 6 engine mount bar works OK as long as it is of good quality...meaning it is structurallly sound without rust or cracks in the welds. Essentially it's a standard early 914 engine mount bar modified to accept a 914/6 or 911 engine cone mount. These were used quite a bit with conversions done approx. more than 10 or 15 years ago as the original 6 bulkhead type mount was not easily found/available (I circled the areas that on the quick six bar in red where the through bolts ride and attach to the mounting points on the car). This type of bar can be used with the factory hard oil line that goes from the engine to input side of the oil tank (I circled the factory hard oil line in blue where there is a clearance issue on the quick 6 pic). Then some folks starting making different versions of bulkhead mounts (Vellios, Rich Johnson, Patrick Motorsports and Maddog) and that style mount became more desired for it's strength, ease of installation and serviceability when R&R'ing the drivetrain while at the track. Track guys seem to love the latest version of the Patrick mount as dropping the engine/tranny can happen quick. Keep in mind that the Vellios/Rich Johsnon/Maddog mounts typically will not work with a factory hard oil line I mentioned...I had a clearance issue when trying to use a factory hard oil line with my Rich Johnson mount. Sorry for inserting all the detail about this in your post. I am familar with this nice conversion car and I think your price is very good. Whoever gets the car will be very happy. Hope this helps.
