Sell my 2.0 Engine or not?, Doing the 3.0L SC swap... debating selling the stock 2.0 Options

[RichPugh]

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.

I disagree on this one. The '73 2.0 is the second most collectible 914 behind the sixes, and this looks to be a pretty nice car. If it were me, I would restore it or sell it as a restoration candidate and buy a different car for the conversion.

Of course, I have a pretty nice '75 1.8 (least collectible of all 914s), so this is easy for me to say.

All that being said, it is your car (and a great looking one at that). Do whatever makes you happy in the end.
