I have a solid 1974 914 tub and a very rusty 1970 911t. I don't want to repair the 911 and would like to do a /6 conversion on the 1974 tub. obviously, I need the engine out of the 911, but what else should I salvage for conversion? the 911 runs sort of, it has a sporto in it now, do I need to block off converter pump on engine ( will be using sideshift 901), do any of the oil lines/filter console etc transfer? thanks.

Problem is you would spend twice the cost of a decent running car to restore this one even if the chassis was free. Restoring a rusty shell and buying every part, piece by piece is the absolutely most expensive way to own a 911.
The real 914-6 that Saigon is helping to sell is a complete car in decent condition and people are still balking at the cost to restore. Unlike a 914, there is no cheap source of parts and sheet metal for a 911. The 912 train left the station for that opportunity. |
