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. |

It's all about what you want and what you want to spend. There are advantages to motronic and Weber's. Weber's are less fuel efficient and stinky, but make good power and oh the sound and throttle response is incredible. 3.2 is a good size for a 914, about as much power as you can use on the street. With the crazy prices of flat sixes, the Subaru six or a honda v-6 is another option, but if it already had a porsche six you will save time and money there. IMHO I would get it running, drive it and go from there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
