Happy Father’s Day gentlemen.
I just drove a ‘74 2.0 car from central OR down the coast back to SoCal (great trip, car was totally reliable) and somewhere on a single lane carving through the redwoods outside Eureka I wondered “yeah, the extra power would be nice but would it make the car feel heavier”. So,is there a trade off in perceived weight or having the car be less eager to dance that comes with a /6 conversion? My intention is to keep whatever car I covert a narrow body and subtle so built GTs aren’t really the best point of feedback. Thanks! |

If you do it yourself then 5-6k in parts if you already have the engine.
Remember flywheel, oil tank, oil filler neck, wiring harness, oil filter console, oil lines, headers, engine mount, throttle bell crank assembly, muffler.. Lots of options out there. |

Remember flywheel, oil tank, oil filler neck, wiring harness, oil filter console, oil lines, headers, engine mount, throttle bell crank assembly, muffler.. Lots of options out there. for a 3.2, also - conversion clutch with ring gear DME sensors and bracket modify engine cooler front oil cooler, lines and thermostat oil temp/pressure gauge rear shift rod 915 trans stubs, hub stubs, hubs, cv's and sway away axles engine sheet metal O2 & altitude sensor DME relay 3.2 fuel pump muffler bracket New engine fuel lines if yours are original. Pricey but worth it. The 3.2 conversion was the most popular engine switch by far at the WCR. Guys are seeing up to 300hp when modified so there is plenty there for most 914 owners. |
