Strongly considering putting a 3.0 in my 73 914. I've been looking at prices of engines, front ends and Fuchs. These parts alone will likely cost at least $4500 - $5500. If I can pick up a running 75,000 mile 1980 911 SC for $7000, does it make sense to do it?
What else besides the engine, front end and the Fuchs can I use on my 914? How likely am I to recoup $2500 by selling the remaining 911 stuff? |

You could put that spare 1.7 motor and all your old 914 bits on it and sell it as a running car that looks like a 911 - I bet some kid/granny would pick it up and be happy - I can hear them boasting about the fuel economy.
I'm not sure how much I am joking. It would be pretty funny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) 912SC Fiid. |
