Sure the 915 will fit but it needs the diff flipped around and probably a rebuild too.
A "T" motor is ok but damn for a six conv spend that $3800 on atleast a 3.0l and forget about the 915. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/051103-stupid4.gif) |

It's more than a diff flip. I have $6k in my 915, so consider is carefully.

So this is not a good thing to look at. I am looking for a good core engine. I am having it gone through by a member before I get it. Any suggestions on where to look for one or conversion parts? Thanks ~Wells~

Hey redshift, I just noticed that you were from Savannah. Do you ever run at Roebling? If so, which 914 is yours? I was just wondering if I had seen you there. If maybe you were in that picture of about 10 914's at the finish line about a year ago.

No need to do a 915 over the 901. You can certainly look at 3.0 or larger engines, and they will work fine with a 901. As for conversion parts, go to pelicans site or this one and find the parts list. it's extensive. How about the engine I turned you onto the other day, any luck bidding, it already had some conversion parts on it.

the guy ended the bid early. I've looked on pelican parts and wating for some responses hopefully. also sent a guy an email for another one on ebay but no response from him either. I'm looking around and Monday I actually have off work so I'm going to call a Porsche shop here in town and see if they've heard of anyone selling one. I hope your still interested in redoing an engine for me. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me the other night. I didn't mean to interrupt family time. let me know when you think you'll have a rough guesstimate on what it'll cost. Thanks. Wells

Take a look at dc Automotive or German Auto Dismantlers. I have gotten parts from both and gotten good service... |
