New Acquisition, 74 2.7 six conversion Options

[zoomCat]

I'm in the process of restoring a factory six, and it's progressing at the pace it has decided it needs. No hurry, apparently. It has left a 914 shaped vacancy in my garage however, and I started to feel the void. I didn't wan't to rush the job, so I decided to look for something that was actually running.
This car came up for sale just a few miles from my house, by a well respected member of the local Porsche community. A very solid car, wasn't a hard decision.
The big money has been spent on converting it to a six. 2.7, front oil cooler, big brakes from PMB, LSD.



It wasn't without some minor issues (50 year old car!) so it went to EvilWerks new location for a quick once over and some tinkering with the shift linkage. @Dr Evil had the right bits lying about, and the car now shifts as it really should. The oil leaks, however, will take a bit more attention, looks like the cam chain boxes are leaking; that will be another day.
