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? |

If it was the rusted engine that I saw for sale I would return it ASAP. If it is an engine that turns with webers you probably did alright...it would be helpful to post pictures.
The 2.7 is not unreliable it just needs same retro-fitting while being rebuilt to prevent head studs from pulling. IMHO the 3L, 3.2L or 3.6L are the best bang for the buck. |
