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? |

No worries! Just trying to get some information from guys that know this stuff. Trying to figure if I was to build a race motor which one would be the right one. It sounds to me like the 914/6 block being rare should stay factory specs. since it came with the correct heads, crank, cams, carburetors it would be easy to achieve that.
As far as a race motor I have been told a 3.0 b/c the 2.7s are unreliable. Please any opinions would be appreciated. Trying to stay a bit old school. |
