I had always assumed that the type 4 was also used in the 912. However it seems that they used a polo motor instead. It actually looks like a 6 cylinder less 2 cylinders.
Has anyone used one of these in a 914? Any more power to be gained? Advantages & disadvantages? Thanks DAvid |

912s are a little better balanced because the weight of the motor sits more forward than a 911 motor, as well as reduced motor weight.
My '67 (911) started out in life as a 912. I was planning to convert it back and have two 912 motors for it ('68 and a '69). I also have most of the components to build up a 1720 including a complete case. I'll probably sell the '67 'as is' and keep the 912s as spares for my '66. |
