I have owned a few 914-4's. I think I know most of the basics to find a good one.
What do I need to know about 6 conversions to buy a good one for street use? I have lots of 911 parts on my 4 cyl. race car, but I don't know that much about 6 cyl. motors. What are the +'s and -'s of a 2.4, 2.7, 3.0, 3.2. I know there are some good ones out there, but I have heard many negs about 2.7's. What upgrades (trans, brakes, cooling, etc) are necessary/recommended and what are optional? How much do I need to spend to get a nice one? What do I need to look for? What are some of the warning signs to avoid? I know that a original 914-6 chassis is probably the best choice. Are any other years better suited than others? I have driven a few stock 914-6's but I think I can find a better fun/dollar ratio with a conversion. Your advice/experience would be greatly appreciated. Anybody got one for sale??? |
