Hello everyone! New Member here.
I just acquired a 914 engine that was disassembled 4747. I purchased it and was told it was a 1970 2.2T motor and wanted to build it as a project back to original specs that is still my plan unless someone needs it. I would also be interested in some opinions. Since when I purchased it and it was represented as a 1970 911 2.2T motor and it is a 914-6 motor did I get the better end of the deal? which motor is more valuable? |

The 914-6 engine will be more valuable to the right person, IMHO. But you may have to sit on it awhile to get that 'good' selling price.
Unless parts on the engine are reusable, there are a few upgrade paths that can be fun, but cost/benefit would encourage you to start with a bigger engine rather than spending lots of money on a small motor build. |
