Jon Watkins was on Rennlist for awhile. I remember the car having a carb fire too. Pretty nice car thou. He has/had a 4 too that he had stripped down and repainted, engine rebuilt. Also a ton of 914 posters and trinkets.

QUOTE You could get anything you wanted. Cars where typically built one color and then "changed" at the factory. I also thought that the 6's didnt have a color tag with numbers. The sixes had the tag in the forward part of the driver's door jam. It didn't have a chassis number on it, but did have the two digit color code. -Rusty |

Personally, I think your best bet is finding a good condition 2.0 with euro pistons, web cam, and FI. They do pop up from time to time. Buy someone elses engine from a crashed car, or perhaps someone else's project. Peppy and just as fun as a stock 2.0/6, except for the cool /6 sound.
The joy in driving a 914 comes in the handling. Period. Horsepower is second place. -Rusty |

According to Chuxters site the "late" 70's sixes had a paint code of 1010 for Black.

My car has a two digit code on the plate: "86" or "84"... I forget which.

What about a 2.5L with 105mm pistons, port & polished, 3 angle valve job, 163/86B webcam, front mount oil cooler.
Are BIG 4s just a bad idea. I'm trying to get more info at the moment. |

You really start stretching the case and heads with 105mm P+C's. Head sealing becomes a problem.
I have taken a liking to the 2.3 engines. 78x98. The 98's are easier on the heads and 78mm strokes are pretty easy to make with a core 2.0 71mm crank. It does require custom rods however and custom pistons with the proper wrist pin placement. B |
