Sell my 2.0 Engine or not?, Doing the 3.0L SC swap... debating selling the stock 2.0 Options

[RichPugh]

I'm debating on keeping the stock matching 73 2.0 engine for the sake of keeping the original engine to go with the car if/when ever I sell the car.

I'm doing a SC 3.0 6 swap and honestly, as nice as the car is, its not a collector quality, all original car anyway. It'll have all 911 suspension and brakes (currently just a 5 lug hub conversion and 320i front calipers). It's been repainted in the original Silver Metallic. There was/is some rust repair in the hell hole and randomly other places. It's pretty nice but I think its destiny is to stay an outlaw 914.

So... should I just sell the stock carb'd 2.0? I even have a second 2.0 engine from a 74 sitting on a dolly thats not doing anything but taking up space. Im thinking I should just sell them both.

I don.t get your post. Is it a stock 2.0 which came with the car? Or is it the stock motor that somebody changed to carbs?

What is the dilemma with a good running 3.0 in the back of your truck?

So if you don.t have an original car.....which it sounds like you don.t

It.s a no brainer...put the six in.

It is the stock 2.0 that came with the car. It is currently in the car, running just fine. It was converted to weber 44's long before I bought it.

There is not dilemma with the 3.0 in the back of my truck, lol. It is going into the 914.

I do have an original, numbers matching 73 2.0 914. It is not "ALL ORIGINAL", i.e., original paint (no), original suspension (no), original brakes (no), original wheels (no)... But it's a 73 2.0 with the original 2.0 engine which has had the EFI removed (long gone, no idea where it is) and has been converted to dual weber carbs.

I AM putting the 6 in, haha. I was debating on selling the 2.0 that would be coming out of it versus keeping it to go with the car if I ever sold it because perhaps it would be of value to someone who wanted to have it. Sorry for any confusion.
