Has anyone managed to stuff a cayenne motor into a 914?
What transmission? What about fuel and ignition? |

The 6 is just a VR6. Mueller was going to do it on his old car and I think it would work. Just a brick of an engine (heavy) for the power outlet. However if you wanted to put a monster turbo on it and go for 700 hp thats not a bad choice.

The better Porsche V6 would be from the Macan, it is a true 90° V6, basically 2 cylinders removed from the Cayenne V8. BradR thinks many wreckers would take as low as $1500 for one since there is no demand. George, the Macan V6 comes from the factory twin turbo'd! |

I would be curious to see what it would take to bolt it to a manual trani. Probably custom flywheel required. Are they available in a manual? I mean a PDK would be a blast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) As with most modern engines, electronics would probably be the biggest issue.... |

Here is the trans bolt pattern on the Cayenne ...your starting point for the bellhousing adapter. |
