So I'm looking at my slightly tired punched out 1.7 and thinking I may want to go the 6 conversion route rather than do the 4 again. Want to price things out a little and if I can make it work, Yahoo!
Through what I know about 6 engines (not a lot) they are pretty much plug and play with a few considerations. i have a 1970 914 so I think I am closer fit than a '73? I see a couple 2.7 (1976-1978) engines with injection. I see a 2.0, etc. etc. My mechanic says find a 3.0 but I am seeing a big jump in prices when you go over 2.7. Ideally I would like to find a complete engine that still has life in it. I would rather install a good running engine that has some miles left than buy a shot engine and rebuild it from the git go. Bang for the buck. I would rather buy here at the world than from an outside party and I know a bunch of you guys have engines and lots of knowledge and you hopefully won't take advantage or steer me down the wrong path. So if anyone has a complete running air cooled 6; preferably larger displacement I am in the market. Most of you guys have businesses or shops and can get low shipping rates so that's another consideration since I'm in the Los Angeles area; local is best. I see most sell their engines without induction. I think I would prefer carbs over injection since I think they are just way more sexy. Injection is ok if working and complete. Conversion pieces as well. What have you? |

Interesting 3.0 911 engine "bumped" up on Pelican today. I am thinning my herd of donor engines and I am offering this 930/16 3.0 911SC engine for sale. This particular engine was rebuilt sometime in the early 2000's and then shelved for a "future project" and never used, I picked it up about 7 years ago as-is to add to my stock and I've decided to let it go (though I'm sure as soon as I sell it I will need it). Included is the engine, distributor, flywheel, oil cooler, and everything pictured. Flywheel still shows resurface swirls and you can see the intake and exhaust ports are dead clean. Engine is probably be good to run as is but I'd probably upgrade to oil fed tensioners and replace all of the outer gaskets main seals and maybe the rocker seals while it's out and you should have a good little 3.0. All the grime you see is shelf grime...... I did a leak down test when I first bought it and it tested out excellent, I'll gladly perform the test again for interested parties. Asking $8750 picked up, can pallet and assist with shipping. Located in Los Angeles near DTLA. Not mine but this is the Pelican ad Bob B |

Yes it does sound appealing and it's local. PM sent. What does the 930/16? mean? Says it's from an SC not a turbo. Sorry I'm obviously not an engine guy. |

I copied it from the Bird Board word for word. Now if you did use that you would not need to ship it across the country. If I had this sitting around I would use it in my 1970 extra car here.------ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Bob B |
