So I previously posted looking for advice on building a type 4 or trying for a -6 conversation. In general people advised a mild type 4 build and just enjoy the drive. I decided to keep an eye out for a 6 but plan on just using the type 4 I had.
Then I got a few weeks leave from Iraq and happened to come across a no reserve eBay auction for a storage unit not far from home. I got a 2.0 MFI 911E engine, a complete 1.7 type 4, and a destroyed targa 911 for about $6k. Both engines turn over easily and look fairly complete (have not had time for a detailed inventory yet though). Pretty excited, need to offload or strip the 911 before I head back to Iraq but I’m looking forward to trying to get this 6 conversation going! If this ends up needing a rebuild I will probably run a 4 while I acquire parts/save money but it should be a fun long term goal! I will post some pictures in a bit…the 911 is comically bad. |

6122116 is the number on the right of the fan shroud
Group size! That makes sense, thanks! When I put the scope down the first one and saw a weird mark I was worried it was damage! I was relieved when I saw the same mark on all of them. |

I am curious if the engine block matches the fuel system and shroud. |
