And this is why the paint/color change will happen sooner than later. Yes, you can see instead of painting red in things like trunks and door jams, PO took some sort of paint and a brush and went to town.

He tried to clean around the VIN sticker (New on already one the way from Car-Bone.pl) and destroyed it.

I'm hoping this year I'll get the 914 stripped down and painted back to the original Anacona Blue.

Your car must be early November and mine later. Few hundred apart but still siblings I suppose. Mine is laguna blau.

Congrats and nice to see another 2.7 conversion in the PNW.

I was curious about the engine build, sounds like you have some interesting pieces. I didn’t know you could use a 993 cam in a 2.7. And starting with an early aluminum block is nice. My mag case needed a bit of work at Ollies as they are prone to need.

From what I have gleaned from my own 2.7 build, the CIS pistons are the main holdback to getting more power. I used 2.7 Euro RS pistons for my build with a solex cam, to get more usable grunt on the street. I also had the CIS swapped for Webers and when I had the heads redone at ollies, I had ollies redrill them for a twin plug setup and used a modified Bosch distributor, with an MSD box. Hoping to get about 230-240 hp.

I used a Rich Johnston mount for my 2.7 and I am quite happy with it. Rich also sells the throttle linkage to add Weber’s or PMOs. I think he is at a914guy@aol.com. The mount required welding to the bulkhead. I also had an access bay cut into the bulkhead to make changing belts much easier without having to drop the engine.

The engine mount used for my 3.2 conversion was sort of custom but similar to the Patrick Motorsport mount.

Yup! Had no luck tracking it down. I would have tried to buy that one back, but it wasn't in the cards.

Thanks Jeff, it's the reason (engine) I bought it. The 914 itself is really solid, but the finish and attention to detail is rather sloppy. It'll be a fun project once the house it done.

If memory serves, I believe I was picking up a solid 2.4 ROW engine from you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Totally unexpected one at that. Bought them about 12 years ago for a 914-6 conversion I did and never put them on. Wound up storing them and months turned into years. Completely forgot I had them. They are REALLY nice.

Dunno what to do with them. I really like the 993 heater boxes on this 914-6 with the dual CATS. I might clean these up and put them up for sale? Dunno?

I'm still very impressed with the mechanics on this 914-6. The engine is sweet music, the hydro lifters are so nice, the CIS provides limited power, but still packs a smooth punch with no hesitation or stinky gas smell.

Can't wait to find some time to get this 914 back to its original Blue. Spring I'm hoping.

So Dan, when you get around to all that sanding and stuff to do the repaint, why don't you fly on over to the PT airport and pick me up? I'll help with all that dirty, mindless stuff and then you can drop me off back at the airport. I only live about 5 minutes away from there. I'll even buy you lunch at the Spruce Goose.

Nice to see the 993 HEs on a 6, I’d like to see more pics of the setup. I have an extra set of them that I was just wondering if anyone has ever used on a 914.
