My conversion is under the knife to do a motor swap and upgrade, it should have a 3.0 or 3.2 in it by spring. The 2.7 that was in it was tired.

I’m working on a 3.0 SC with 964 cams and CIS conversion with Ed Villela. I coerced Ed for about 5 years to paint and flare my teener. You can see the results on his webs shots page. We were hoping it would be done by Summer now we are shooting for Christmas. Hopefully the engine will be done soon and we can start putting the car back togther.

Currently converting one to a six in extra slow motion. Got the tub dipped and up on the roticorie, primed most of it and have been working on it in-between other projects. It will probably be completed in a few years...
I don't know what size the motor will be yet, but the car should be LIGHT WEIGHT!!!!! |

I've been doing a 993/915 combo into my original Euro model 914/6 for what seems to be forever.
Motor/tranny is in.Major accomplishment there. What's left Muffler,leaning towards a Dansk 2in2out.550.00 from Vertex. Oil plumbing from engine to oil bag & thermostat. Gotta redo my fuel pump.The setup I did,leaked.No good there.I'm leaning to a Aeromotive A1000 from Jegs.280.00 Need a shifter,gonna do a J-West unit eventually.500.00 Not much,but now a group buy is going on for steel flares I'm gonna do.Probably take me most of the year to do those & re-paint the car. But,it's all good,and fun doing it. Ron Attached image(s)

In Process of converting my 74. It will have a 2.2 and full suspension. It already has a cage and the frame stiffened. Tired of getting pulled down the straight at Driver's School.

I am on Version 2 of my car, sold my 3.0 weber engine and now doing a 3.2 Euro Motronic engine.
Boxster calipers, moderatly built 901 transmission, carrera front end and all that other cool stuff. The 3.0 went to a buddy who is also doing a conversion. That is 2 more 914-6 cars in San Diego. Need to get a 914-6 drive together. |

I haven't started on a conversion, but I've been really thinking about it for the last little while. I'm starting to price out parts, and see what I would need. My biggest problem is finding a decent engine that is somewhat local.
The insanity never ends! |

Ha! That's exactly how I feel. I've been doing a slow-motion six conversion myself. It's going so slow that I turbo-charged the four-banger last fall to tide me over. Over the past 3 years I've gathered everything except an oil tank & lines, and a front motor-mount (will probably make one). The only thing holding me back is the prospect of rebuilding the dead 2.7 I picked up. Maybe next year... -Ben M. |

The initial 6 conversion was completed in 1978-with a 2.7 CIS Kjet. It morphed into a 2.7 single turbo.Then dropped in a 3.0 sc CIS Kjet. Which morphed into a twin turbo with the wrong c/r (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chair.gif) . In 1995, dropped in a 3.2 twin plug, twin turbo with lots of Aasco internal stuff...it's in an all steel GT body with 8 pt cage. Just finishing up the brake upgrade right now. But it will never be "Done".

What configuration (i.e bore ,stroke and c.r) is your 2.5? I am planning a future motor build to eventually replace my low c.r 2.5 (90m rs pistons on a 66mm crank) that is currently about to go into the car. Would love to be able to get that sort of poewr out of it. Robert |

In the process now, just started a 6 to 6 conversion a 3.2 to 3.6 upgrade. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
I just took delivery this week of a 95 euro (Canadian) 993 and are starting the tear down of all the stock stuff: smog pump, power steering, and the other superfluous BS on the engine. Gonna do a Webcam 993RS cam (designed for hydralic lifters), match flow the injectors, big bore throttle body.....anyone done these things? For those thinking about upgrading my 3.2 is for sale: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...ST&f=18&t=25330 |

I've been doing one in my head for about 3 years now. I actually have (friend is holding onto for me) a 3.0 euro engine with new pistons that I will be using in a silver gt flared car, maybe with red leather (dark red) interior and a 911 dash, wheels maybe the 5 spoke (thin 5 spoke) boxters??

Me too. 2.7 liter 911S motor with CIS in a '75. Chassis is now home from the paint shop and slowly going back together. Some of the upgrades include SC front brakes, vented 914/6 rear brakes, Konis and front/rear sway bars, a cable shifter and a hydraulic clutch 911 gauges including an oil level sender/gauge. Rebuilt motor and tranny. There is still a lot of work to be done I'm four years into this project. When its done it will be a gift to our daughter.

I'm also doing a conversion to my '73... I'm lined up to get Ferg's "tired" engine soon, 2.7L w/CIS. If anyone is interested I have an original 914/6 oil tank (used) and original 914/6 flywheel (un-used,new) that I'll be adding to the classifieds or maybe ebaying next week. My car is tangerine with (fiberglass) GT flares and bumper/valance, oh - 916 rear bumper, a roll cage and 8X15 Fuchs all around. Can't wait to finish it and will ASAP!
