I've run across a Porsche 914, 1972 vintage I think, with 1.7-liter engine. There's actually two cars involved, the primary and a parts car. The primary's body work and paint work, including rust elimination are finished. The car is partly disassembled, with the engine/transaxle out. The engine has low compression on one cylinder, so a rebuild is called for, either partial or complete. I believe I can handle reassembly, swapping parts, installing new ones where necessary, etc. but can't do an engine rebuild. I propose to stick with fuel injection (repaired as necessary) and a straight-forward rebuild, reusing what makes sense and renewing otherwise. I'm trying to "ball park" what that rebuild might cost.
This will be a winter time project for me, as I have the space, the time (I'm retired) and maybe the inclination to finish what someone else started. I saw this forum and decided to ask a more knowledgeable community for thoughts, advice and warnings.............. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Basic rebuild 5-6k plus what ever F.I. parts need to be replace/repaired/ There are may knowledgeable CO. on the forum including Brant.
I would suggest having Jeff Bowlsby rebuild the F.I. wiring harness and get a set of SS fuel lines for the tunnel to avoid the common fires from old plastic lines. We have a member vendor section for new parts sources and the classified for other parts you may need. |
