Opinions and advice, My 914-6 resto Options

[flyer86d]

So over this summer, I refreshed the suspension and brakes that are going on the -6. I’ve had a set of front suspension with delrin bushings, 21mm torsion bars, big aluminum calipers and -6 rear trailing arms with delrin bushings. It’s all repainted and ready to go in. A mild heart attack at the end of September and a triple bypass 6 days later postponed a bunch of work. I’m getting back to it cleaning parts for the winter project of building a motor.

I’m looking for motor advice. I want a small displacement screamer. We don’t have freeways on the Maine coast and it’s not going to be a daily driver just a toy that I will never sell. So, I am building this on a 914-6 case, not the original which I have, counter weighted crank with matching rods, 69S heads, 81 mm 906 pistons and cylinders with 40mm Webers. Which cams? I am looking for a willing motor with explosive ( for a small motor) revs from 4500rpm up to 7500. What does the group say? Our old track 911sc was a 3.2 with ge80 cams which did that but I don’t want that kind of power for a street car. What does the group say? 911s, mod S, 906, Dc60?

In my experience I suggest that the DC30 mod solex might be what you are looking for.

Good torque, good smooth throttle response with a real surge starting at 4500 with a substantial kick all the way to 7400. Running stock six headers with Ben’s twin tip sport muffler.

Talk to Dougherty, he knows these cam engine combos intrinsically and can give you the characteristics you want if you can give him the spec and describe what you want.

Love the mod solex.

And your post reminded of why I couldn’t get comfy at Lime Rock!
