You have a crankcase for a low number USA spec chassis. It could be worth something if that chassis still exists or is close to one whose engine has been swapped. Then look for a 2.0 liter 911t complete engine for your car. It probably be a lot more cost effective than having to source all of the bits and pieces to complete yours. It would be as close as you can get to be original spec for a 914-6 and since you are building a conversion, it makes no difference for originality.

Charlie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Niklas That is what I was getting at Because you engine is not correct numbers, the 914/6 numbers numbers on your engine case really add no extra value. If your 914 is a real six it still quite valuable even with the incorrect number engine and will likely be more valuable with a later well sorted engine. Also do some research the 1969 911T 914/6 engine is a bit of a sucky engine, the absolutely only reason I would use it is for a numbers matching correct car. You also can easily keep the engine looking correct using weber carbs and once you install them in the 914 it's pretty hard to tell them apart. These six engines, 2.0 through 3.6 they all cost over $10,000 USD to rebuild. Think about that for a few days, then I'll pull out the cores I have if you still want to do a 1969 911T, 914/6 engine. |
