1971 PORSCHE 914-6 with a 2.7 RS SPEC MFI ENGINE FOR SALE
• Lightweight with lots of horsepower • Clean and clear title • VIN#4712901861 (car started as a 1971 914 four cylinder) • Registration is current for street driving, but not a comfortable commuter car! Asking $20,000 OBO (serious buyers/no free rides) Car has recently been tuned up by John Chambers Motorsports I purchased the car in 2014 from the original racecar builder and I made the following improvements to the car since it’s purchased: • Rebuilt transmission • Rebuilt MFI • Regular maintenance prior to events • Added stiffing rear chassis kit • Installed new adjustable Koni shocks • Added passenger race seat/seat belts • Modified steering to quick release • Installed a wide rear view mirror • Perform various chassis modifications to meet PCA track regulations Since I purchased the car, the car has not been raced much; less than 10 autocrosses/track events due to other life priorities. Thus, wife has drawn the line…. And happy wife… happy slavery… time to sell and let someone else become the best driver in the world!!! What follows are the build details from his add at the time. • Car started as a 1971 914 4 cylinder in very good condition, clean and straight body with no rust (there are minor surface spot in the battery well and some at the front wheel wells) Major modifications for track: • Interior completely stripped, dash removed, all window and hardware removed, battery moved to front trunk, 4-point bolt-in cage installed. • Headlights, driver side wiper and brake lights are still operational • All heater and vent/blower hardware has been removed • Large portions of the wiring harness have been removed or altered • The stock fuel tank is used, but the plastic tubes from the front the engine compartment have been replaced with stainless steel lines • The car has been extensively modified for the six cylinder installation, particularly the oil plumbing. • The oil system uses braided lines throughout and a Petersen tank, breather and other hardware. • There is a thermostatically controlled front oil cooler ducted to the front bumper. • The motor mount is a Patrick “hinged” 2-point unit bolted directly to the firewall, making engine removal fast and easy. • Engine spark is provided by an MSD ignition module, MSD coil and Pertronix optical points. • The engine has been fitted with a reproduction 914-6 sheet metal • The engine is a Supertec built 2.7 RS Motor MFI (with the rare and desirable BOSCH Mechanical Fuel Injection). • The car is rated at 210+ HP using 91 octane pump gas. The case was align-bored, case savers installed, new main/rod/intermediate shaft bearings, dilivar studs, turbo oil pump, solid chain tensioners, magged and polished crank, S cams. The engine has a 1-5/8 headers with a 911 sport muffler. • The transmission is a standard 5 speed 901 that has been converted to side-shift. It is solid and shifts wells. All shift linkage bushings have been upgraded or replaced; including the firewall bushing which has been replaced with a spherical bearing. The original shift lever is installed, but a short-shift unit is could be bolted if desired. The flywheel is very light, 7.2 lbs for fast revs, and has a Centerforce clutch with about 40% wear. • The suspension is stock 914 4-lugs, upgraded with Koni adjustable shocks and adjustable coilovers. The rear control arms have Delrin bushings. The brakes have braided lines. • Adjustable brake bias lever in the engine compartment • Two sets of wheels are included: Cheap Rivieras with narrow tires for towing and a set of FUCHS with 205-50/15 • The interior features a custom made racing dash fabricated from aluminum with a large electronic tach, stock oil pressure and temperature gauges and a large oil pressure warning light. • Driver’s seats are Kirkey intermediate/large with Simpson 6 point harnesses • The pedal cluster has been rebuilt with aluminum pedal and light weight perforated aluminum floorboard • The steering wheel is Momo (push buttons are no longer on steering wheel) • Not wanting to buy and store a trailer, the car has a custom flat-towing setup up; there are two small receivers that have been bolted to the trunk longitudinals. A towing bar inserts through 2 holes in the bumper and attaches to the receivers. Hook the hitch to your truck, RV, plug in the brake/blinkers cable, and put the car in neutral and go! NOTE: Current car's personalized license plate is not part of the sale Car odometer was removed by builder- I have only used car for less than 10 autocross/track events or so since 2014; hence wife wants it gone! I do not use it as expected! Time for someone else to enjoy car! CAR LOCATED IN MURRIETA/TEMECULA, CALIFORNIA Attached image(s) |

I just got off the phone with Felix (the seller) and his buddy Mat. They were very accommodating, answering all my millions of questions. I really appreciated all the time and effort to do so.
The engine is 210hp. I have to agree with most people on this post the motor alone is worth about his asking price. And you couldn't build this car for the asking price let alone have someone build it for you. Definitely stay firm on your price bro. Someone is going to see the good value in this car.

The engine is more 2.7S Carrera spec, 210hp. than RS. Be that as it may, I have to agree with most people on this post the motor alone is worth about his asking price. And you couldn't build this car for the asking price let alone have someone build it for you. Definitely stay firm on your price bro. Someone is going to see the good value in this car. GLWTS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) What does this mean exactly? Is it more 2.7S/ Carrera spec as in a U.S. spec 2.7 170hp or is it a 2.7 210 hp spec engine with S cams and RS pistons? ...Got to think it is more like a 2.7 RS with the MFI and such. ...really don't understand your post as there was never a 2.7 with MFI that wasn't RS spec. |

IT IS a 210 HP+ spec engine with S cams and pistons with a BOSCH MFI.... the engine built on a 7R case from a 911 T motor--- hope this helps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Hi everybody. I'm helping Felix run down all the technical details of his car for interested buyers. I don't have the invoices in front of me right now, but the one from supertec shows that they used 911S cams, new 8.5 CR pistons. There's no mention of which "S" cam was used but knowing Supertec, I'm sure it's not the CIS "S"-in-name-only cam that came in this engine. The MFI is from a 2.4 911T (72-73) and has recently been calibrated for use with a 2.7. The engine is a 7R mag case from a 77 911S - Code 911/85 serial number 6275671. Stroke is 70.4, all new bearings throughout, case-savers, reconditioned and re-bushed stock rods and rockers. Oil pump was rebuilt and modified for extra flow.
I'm not too familiar with the 911/83 engine found in the "real deal" 73RS, but from researching tech specs it looks like stroke and compression ratio are the same as what's in Felix car (8.5:1, 70.4). I've also found mention of the RS engine using 911S cams. I'd bet the MFI is set up differently in the 911/83 - Probably bigger throat, taller stacks. Hopefully that answers most questions. The engine in the car is a hot rod engine built by the previous owner to suit the car and what the car was built for. I will say - I drove the car, and this engine is plenty for such a light car, and it sounds awesome with the MFI and r-style muffler. It makes good power down low, pulls nice and smooth. |
