Hi, I'm curious to know about engine options to build a "six". I've seen other 911 engines and subaru engines too. but has anyone tried Honda/Acura? Maybe a motorcycle engine build? I'm no mechanic. not sure if this is even possible.
any advice is welcome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thank you! |

IMHO, smaller 911 engines (up to 3.2L) are by far the easiest to install since they are a direct bolt in and the 914 chassis was built to accommodate them.

QUOTE(SirAndy @ Jan 21 2015, 11:27 AM)  IMHO, smaller 911 engines (up to 3.2L) are by far the easiest to install since they are a direct bolt in.... Not exactly bolt-in... The welded-in mounts are definitely preferred, and of course you have to do some cutting of the side of the engine bay to fit the oil tank... But the 911 engines are a very well-understood swap, and improve the car markedly. No debates about them, like there are about the V8 and Scooby motor swaps. --DD |
