Thanks again to 914world for helping us find the original engine, Drolla for agreeing to trade it for a 2.7L, and John Forbes (Black Forest a Racing) for rebuilding the 2.7L.

We are still collecting parts for the restoration. Here is what we are looking for now:

1. NOS passenger-side inner longitudinal.
2. NOS front fenders.
3. Just about all of the restoration design metal parts available.
4. 914-6 Relay Board
5. 914-6 throttle linkage - both on top of the engine and the bell crank that mounts to the transmission.
6. An original early dash top pad in excellent condition.
7. 914-6 tool kit.

I feel like I should give out cigars. I had a chance to buy a six in the late 80s. It didn't work out for personal reasons. 27 years later I bought one. I didn't know that "bucket list six" meant a bucket of parts, and a list of problems. I am stoked. Bringing her home now. Pictures to follow.

What's the bounty? :-)

I have an idea - I think we will dedicate a page in the magazine in each issue to those looking for specific engines.
