I have an original 914- 6 motor on my 74, last week I noticed oil out of one of the exhaust ports. The motor runs fine . I will have to do a top end rebuilt . I am thinking a valve seal.
This motor is an original and my car is a 74. If anyone is looking for an original six , I can do a trade for any good running motor 2.2 and up . Let me know what you have . If not I'll start the rebuilt during the winter and put it back. Engine #6404497 |

There’s probably a factory -6 that would love it’s original motor. You might also want (and not have to add a front cooler).

Then consider going larger (2.7, 3.0, 3.2, 3.6) as it makes more torque and the car becomes a whole lot more fun!

Definitely post that engine number in the Classifieds as the Six owner, if the car still exists, might like to reunite them. Otherwise, sadly, it is not really a desirable motor.

Engine #6404497 Have you considered upgrading the motor you have ?,it is known to you afterall,could be a good base for a displacement increase (86mm),cams upgraded etc. A bit of extra cylinder head work and re-profiled cams would be your only extra expense over a stock build. Often pointed out on here that they only have reasonable value if you sell to someone that needs numbers matching or original replacement engine. |
