Hey guys,
I got a 1988 V6 Fiero engine that I took out of a car. Got the PCM and most of parts. I currently got it for sale on craigslist but I was wondering if it would make a good conversion engine in my 72 914. The engine ran great when it was installed and had good power. Think it is 2.8L. Anyone ever did this engine swap? If so, what is involved? Thanks, Jason |

Heavy engine for the power. Lots of better choices out there.
A subaru engine makes a bunch more sense. The 2.5L is a dime a dozen and makes similar power, is lighter, has lots of support, and the weight is lower in the chassis. |

I wasn't really looking at swapping what I had anytime soon. It was just a thought. I appreciate all the comments.
I just got my 914 a month ago. I traded it straight for a 1987 Bowrider boat that was abandoned at a house I purchased. Guy wanted the boat and offered the trade which I was more than happy to do. I got nothing in it. I can't get it to start but it does turn over. A buddy of mine who has a 914 is coming over either tomorrow or Thursday to help me get it running. It ran when I got it but having a difficult time getting it to run now. Can't wait to start summer driving in it! |
