Nice car--good that you're bringing it back to life!

I like the foglights (Cibie?)--and chance of a couple close-ups of the mounting?

Thanks--looking forward to following your progress!

When I bought the car I didn't know it had the original engine because the serial number is on the fan housing support like the 911.
Now it just sits on a shelf, I don't want to harm this case.

You "old timers" seem to know a lot about this car. I'd like to know some of the history on it and why, if you do have the correct motor for it, you wouldn't just build that and put it in the car?

Inquiring minds want to know…... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

because if for some reason the original engine becomes unusable the value of the car is significantly reduced. when I bought the car I put a 2.2 L E spec motor in the car because it gave it more scoot, now I am protecting my investment. Wisdom you gain when you are an "old timer"

I wouldn't put it back in either glenn, it would get rebuilt, storage prepped, and put away for a long, safe sleep!

I agree.. Too much risk in damaging the original engine..
The added value of a matching numbers car can't be dismissed lightly.

I wouldn't rebuild it just to keep it sitting though..
As long as it is turned over with a wrench on the crank bolt every now and then..
I'd pour mystery oil in the plug holes, oil the hell out of the linkages and leave
it for the next owner to deal with.

Knowing that we are but temporary stewards of these pieces of history & depending on what the state of your wallet & amount of other projects you have is, I do actually agree with you! If i were the next guy, just knowing that the original engine came with it, i wouldnt care either way!

>>I am going to throw this fire breathing 110 HP 911 T motor in the car, should keep me out of trouble <<

Those 911-T engines are excellent for street driving 914s, IMHE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I installed a 2.4L-T CIS engine in my 914 28 years ago, and that engine is still in the car today. It is a blast to drive and is very reliable. Hop in, turn the key, Neet Neet VROOOM! I drive it all the time, to work etc.. It keeps up with traffic no problem.

The 2.4L had ~90K miles on it when I bought/installed it. I drive it ~5-7K miles a year. Only major work done on the engine since has been a valve job. Other than that, just tune-ups, seal replacements, and a couple of alternators.

So wait, I'm putting an original (slightly modified) 914-6 engine in my converted '74. Is the engine worth more than the car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
