you probably don't want to use the quick six engine bars.
they crack and break over time. better to go with a bulk head mount... there are multiple brands. |

Ben (mb911) can supply the oil tank, heat exchangers, muffler and engine tin. There are a few different mounts available. I got my E cams from Retro Automotive in Claremont, New Hampshire. They are a great resource for all used parts Porsche big to small. They have lots of 914 stuff. I hope this helps.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions David David, I've been looking into possibly doing a 6 conversion and a few other things come to mind. - oil lines. I think there's a few that are unique to the 914-6. - most aftermarket tanks also need a filler neck and filter mount that are sold separately. - a 911 tachometer or a tach adapter. A 5700 redline just wouldn't look right if using an adapter. I'd have to have the face redone. - oil temperature and pressure gauge for the 6. Maybe head temp too. - hand throttle control may be handy. - accelerator bellcrank and cable. There's probably numerous ways to connect the throttle linkage, but will likely require some attention whatever the choice. - I think the transmission shift lever may interfere with the 914/6 heat exchangers, so you may have to replace this with one that's straighter. I'm sure there's plenty more items... the more I research into doing it, the longer the list grows. Dan |
