Hello all - I bought the 73 914 2 liter out of Baltimore that somebody referenced on this site under cars for sale - anyway , I've been a porsche nut for years - mostly 911s - This is my first 914 - Well folks if I knew how fun they were relative to handling I would have bought one years ago - my 914 has twin 44mm Webers on a fresh stock top end rebuild - jetting is probably too rich - probably over carbed in general - but beyond that it's just not fast enough to enjoy fully - A local PCA guy stopped by this weekend and let me drive his 2.0 bored to 2.7 w/ Megasquirt and some other stuff - wow - really fun to drive - I want mine to be more like that car - my one friend is pushing for a Chevy V8 conversion - my PCA race buddy wants to put a 2.2 911s motor in - I could buy this guys 2.0 race motor listed on 914 club - I'm uncertain - so I'd really some opinions from more experienced 914 guys - my 914 is very solid, fender flairs, side shift tranny - strong enough and worthy enough to spend a little $$ to make go faster - thanks in advance for your help - Phil

Trekkor did a lot of fabrication to do his install cheaply. It comes down to either time or money. For example, some guys have the time and ability to spend hours of metal work to make their own engine tin. Others just buy the fiberglass or the factory steel reproduction engine tin.
Rich Johnson sells lots of these conversion parts. Check out his ad in the vendor section.
Grant, to me that sounds like an exceptional deal that most couldn't count on reproducing. Used 914-6 oil tanks alone are going for $500-600 (assuming you could even find one). New oil tanks are going for $900 these days. Grant, your parts list is also missing all the small bits. How are you going to deal with the rest of the install? |
