OK, I know its been discussed before.... so I'll ask again, for those of you who have done this....
What is the ideal engine for a /6 conversion? The ABM came with a 901.101.101. 7R From the Bruce Anderson book it would seem that normal engine HP for each possible engine is as follows: 2.4 w/ carbs - 130 ish 2.7 150 ish 3.0 170-180 ish 3.2 200 Before Andy jumps in, I don't want a 3.6 - too much power. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) What is the best driving /6 with ridiculous power? Is it worth it to build up the 2.4 to S spec? when you can get all the improvements of a 3.0? Thx |

I like them under 3.0 for the 914 chassis.
Do some welding (chassis stiffening) and the 3.2 is the best air cooled motor Porsche made. QUOTE Height of CIS engine is a problem with the engine lid if installed at the 7" height recommended by RJ and Maddog mounts. Drop it to 6.5" and it's no problem. If you plan to run heat exchangers. Plan on those being the first thing a speed bump or a road hazard sees whilst sneaking around underneath your car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) |
