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? |

Never let retail numbers get in the way of today's internet reality...... Almost everything on the list is available for some fraction of the "retail" averages out there / Particularly with World at your fingertips.
I was doing 356 restos when classified adds and the phone was all we had for resources / that and the printed Stoddard catalogue. Retail was all we had if not found at a yard sale or swap meet. Keep at it and start with a firm goal in mind and you will achieve it. As Sebastian Maniscalco said in one of his routines.. "give it 130% in everything you do" Nothing less. I look at old progress-pix along the way and am reminded how much fun it was to do the real 911 thing verses another 4. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |
