914-6 Project, My project car Options

[RaymondD]

Hi Folks,

I have a 1970 914-6 that I will be restoring soon. It's a really nice car, straight body, and has never been wrecked. The 2.0 motor is long gone. Presently its got a 2.4 liter 911 E motor that hasn't run in decades though I was able to get the engine to fire about 6 months ago. My plan is to put a 3.2 liter Carrera motor in the car. I am looking for recommendations on whether its worth it to go twin plug, swap the EFI for carbs, or even PMO throttle bodies. I am keeping the 901 tranny and am aware that I will need to get a converted flywheel to mate the tranny and bigger motor.

Raymond,

You might want to PM or email to member Andy T./SoCalAndy - IIRC he did a twin-plug 3.2 in his 70 914-6 "Resurrection".

PS - His car is in the listing topic of Cars of the Month (COTM), & he may still have a build or other thread(s) on here about his -6. Both his prior 72 2056 /4 & his -6 are/were Yellow, so look for the later `6 resto.

Also try to find out your -6's original 2.0 case number (get a COA from PCNA, then keep looking for it, because they turn up every now & then FS on the internet sources, Porsche & car swaps, etc. Long term you may just find it to reunite in or store for your -6.
