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. -Rich |

My vote is go balls deep, sell the /4's, convert it to a /6 and cut your /4 engine hangers off.
Don't look back. |

My vote is go balls deep, sell the /4's, convert it to a /6 and cut your /4 engine hangers off. Don't look back. What I did. Cary has my engine mounts. But I started with a non-running 1.7. I rebuilt that one as a 2056 and swapped it into my '76 2.0. The idea was to have a rebuilt motor ready to go. The answer is plain as can be. You need two 914's. In fact I love the power of the 3.6 conversion, but for tossing around the autocross, I will always go with the 4 banger. So you need 2 of them. |
