I don't know where that came from. I was just looking for some advice to justify if I got taken on the purchase of a 914/6 motor that was presented as a 911 2.2T motor. you can verify this if you would like I purchased it on ebay about a week ago. It was listed as a 1970 2.2T motor for $3500. You should not make assumptions. The case is not for sale if is a bad deal for me I can return it to the seller.

Assumptions sometimes are wrong but the line of questioning from a brand-new Newbie can be suspicious. No harm no foul - enjoy your new motor! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

No worries! Just trying to get some information from guys that know this stuff. Trying to figure if I was to build a race motor which one would be the right one. It sounds to me like the 914/6 block being rare should stay factory specs. since it came with the correct heads, crank, cams, carburetors it would be easy to achieve that.
As far as a race motor I have been told a 3.0 b/c the 2.7s are unreliable. Please any opinions would be appreciated. Trying to stay a bit old school. |

The 3.0 is the one to build into a race motor. Super strong aluminum case. Our 962 uses a 3.0 case and puts out over 700hp.
The 914-6 case is the same as the '69-911S. That engine had 185-190hp, stock. You will need to work the heads and use S cams and pistons but it's certainly not a throw away engine. |

If it was the rusted engine that I saw for sale I would return it ASAP. If it is an engine that turns with webers you probably did alright...it would be helpful to post pictures.
The 2.7 is not unreliable it just needs same retro-fitting while being rebuilt to prevent head studs from pulling. IMHO the 3L, 3.2L or 3.6L are the best bang for the buck. |

Find its home and it might as well be made of gold. Otherwise, its going to hold down garage space... So if gravity fails us, you made a good investment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
