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? |

A 914/6 engine is not very powerful and anyone doing a conversion would probably chose sometime of a larger displacement because it cost about the same to rebuild a 3.0 L as it does to do 2.0L. I am not disparaging these engines but just trying to put a realistic value because I see people charging over $1500 for a case and as far as I am concerned that is nuts unless you own the car it belongs to. If you rebuild a 914/6 engine then you are raising the price that the owner of the car it belongs to has to pay and not knowing your abilities as an engine builder might make that a hard sell.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) On a conversion I'd never get hung up on the correct engine size, to me in this case the correct engine is the one with the best HP and engine. My conversion I started with a 2.0S core then a 2.7 core and finally I built on a 3.0 because of the AL case. |
