I picked up an '96 VR6 to swap into my 914.
Specs of the motor: 6 cylinder, 2.8 liters 175HP w/175 ftlbs of torque (bone stock as of now) 6500 redline (easily 7k with minor work) not too sure of the wieght of the motor, aluminum head, iron block overall length of the engine is 21" the widest part of the block/head assembly is about 9" with the intake and exhaust, the width of the motor is 20" from the crank centerline to the top of the motor: 18" from the crank centerline to the bottom of the pan:8.5" I half-measured my /4 and from the crank to bottom of the motor mount bar, it looked to be about 8" or so. it looks like it'll be tight at the top/rear of the engine, it might possibly hit the trunk in the same spot the Chevy V8's distributor hits, luckly, I should have room to move the engine/transmission forward an inch or so if need be..... front of motor: Attached image(s)
