Hey guys,
I'm new to 914World, but not to 914's. I had a rusty '73 *way* back in the day, and still think about that car. Turns out a six conversion is recently up for sale nearby and I'm drooling. Allegedly originally a CA car, '76, with a 3.2, with headers into a Dansk 2 in, one out. In other words, the car does not have a cat. converter. I'm wondering if that matters given its age, though I'm pretty sure the 3.2's had cats and maybe even CA 914's. Are cats common in conversions, or not? Am I going to have trouble at the DMV? If so, is there a way to make it all better? I know the 3.2 had to be turned around to go into the engine bay; can the original 3.2 header pipes (and cat) be turned around to point out the back? Thanks, any wisdom on the topic would be appreciated! |

Generally speaking, whatever was required the year of the engine (!) is what you legally need to have in terms of equipment.
How that is enforced locally where you live is a completely different question. Around here where i live nobody has ever asked about anything related to the '95 engine i have in my '70 914. Neither the DMV nor the cops have ever cared. But of course that can change. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
