I recently picked up a 914/6 conversion project car. I am in the process of trying to figure out what is in the engine without fully disassembling it since it appears to be in good shape. Engine is out of the car. Here is what I know so far.
- 1972 911T Case (911/07) - 90mm Cylinders (90zn2) - K1819n heads (one is a K1819g) - 40IDS3C carbs Trying to figure out what cam and crankshaft are in there. Valve lift measurements below where measured with a dial gauge placed on the valve retainer. - Intake lift .402 - Exhaust lift .376 Stock cam? I figure the crank is a 66mm but it could be also be a 70.4mm from what I have read. Anyway to figure that out without disassembly? Thanks in advance for any info. I appreciate the massive amount of knowledge the 914world community has! -Doug |

That carb has one difference though that makes it better
It’s able to add enrichment through an extra circuit at red line Unlike all of the other 3 barrel webers. A functional upgrade. Not cosmetic So great for high rpm applications over 6-7000 rpm One year only And originally on the last carb’s 911S So valuable carbs |
