@mb911 - that is a poor excuse, LOL.

Looks like I messed up the alignment of that shifter cone screw, might be the gear selection issue.

I think you have the wrong plastic bushing holder.

great catch Kevin, the one in the picture is from an early rear shift 914

Tom, perhaps you already know, but if I see it correctly, you have too much play between the shift rod and the white plastic bushing. If so, there is much shifting improvement available from improving this fitment.

Yep, that's a tail shift selector cup.

If you need a side shift one let me know I have many.

So the good news is I was able to drive the car around the block and it seems healthy, but it’s not as torquey as that engine that you and Forrest help me with Keith @914Toy

I also found a goodie I did not know I had!




The bad news is that my test drive was only in 2nd and 4th gears since I need to adjust the shifter.

Before I dive into that could I get eyes on this please? Don’t think this should be much of any of the white plastic showing, should there?





There are two different connectors for the cup bushings. The one in your picture is for an early 911 or 914, and is used under the shifter. The other one is longer, and is used with the side shift console. You have the wrong one in there.

Thanks @ClayPerrine

That was how it came to me, fixed it now. Too a coupe tries to align the shifter but I am back on the road.

So far so good but I have a bad flat spot on the dual carbs when I give it gas from lower RPM, but I can deal with that later.

Thanks for all of the help and PMs gentlemen!

I wanted to follow up on several requests for pictures of the mystery engine after he tin has been removed.

Anyone recognize these bits?

Going to pull that side head off and start measuring.

Any bets on how big the jugs are.

@914werke - well what do you know, just check with a magnet and they the are aluminum.

I am happy about that, correct?

Maybe 911?

No idea otherwise.

Could be some Biral cylinders. Probably an iron sleeve pressed into an aluminum cylinder then fins are cut onto the perimeter. 911s used them l ow power applications, maybe slightly better than raw cast iron, but no where near as good as Nickies.

All of the welding on the head is interesting, not exactly sure what they were going to achieve with it. Look forward to more pictures.
