I'm debating on keeping the stock matching 73 2.0 engine for the sake of keeping the original engine to go with the car if/when ever I sell the car.
I'm doing a SC 3.0 6 swap and honestly, as nice as the car is, its not a collector quality, all original car anyway. It'll have all 911 suspension and brakes (currently just a 5 lug hub conversion and 320i front calipers). It's been repainted in the original Silver Metallic. There was/is some rust repair in the hell hole and randomly other places. It's pretty nice but I think its destiny is to stay an outlaw 914. So... should I just sell the stock carb'd 2.0? I even have a second 2.0 engine from a 74 sitting on a dolly thats not doing anything but taking up space. Im thinking I should just sell them both. -Rich |

Sell the 2nd one right away. Then after a year or two of tripping over the original engine, sell it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Just kidding. I'm sure once you drop in the 3.0, you won't go back to a 4, or want to ever sell your car. These cars were meant to have a 6. I would keep the car running with the 4 engine until you are ready to do the 6 and have all the parts needed. No reason to give up great driving weather until you need to. Good luck with the swap. |
