2,2T, Is this a good choice Options

[DavidSweden]

I have the chance to buy a 2,2T motor.

Is this a good motor for a 914 6 conversion? Its not cheap so I want to be sure that its not wasted money. There is also a 2,4 available and its a bit cheaper. Advice required

Are you rebuilding either one? If so, then you can change around a lot of stuff and get the driving characteristics you want. If not, then realize that the "T"-spec motor is the lowest-spec one. It makes the least power, but in some ways is more drivable in day-to-day situations.

Larger displacement means the potential for more power. It's not a lot larger between the 2.2 and 2.4 engines, though.

Both will have the flywheel attachment that allows you to use the 1969 911 flywheel and 901-based clutch which will hook up to the 914's transmission.

Both will be expensive to rebuild, if they need it. I am hearing that parts prices start at $10K for a decent rebuild, and can go up from there. And that's not counting labor or machine shop work.

Either one should make for a fun car. Both will put you out of the more-stock racing classes, if that is your eventual intent. Both will sound awesome in a 914, and both will motivate the car pretty well.
