Did you or will you have the car dyno'd? Just curious how much HP that six is making.

Saw you driving through Sunset Beach Sunday, actually I heard the engine first; just missed you as I was crossing North Pacific.

Looking good !




Sorry I missed you Jim, maybe next time.

If you come down on a weekend to hit the beach, give me a call and I'll fix you up with a parking spot. It's been really crowded down here with the good weather

Haven't had it on a dyno., but this is a pretty common 2.7 build on a 7R with head mods, 90mm Mahle 8.5 comp., and S-cams. Most everyone agrees around 200 hp. I don't know if that means on the flywheel or road wheels. All I can tell you is it pulls on my 3.6 liter 997, the 914 does have a weight advantage though.

Bottom line, this car drives and pulls way better than I expected and it looks like a 41 yr. old sleeper.

Congrats on completing a wonderful car. Very happy to hear you have it on the road. Thanks so much for sharing all the details of the build with our community. This is truly one of the finest restorations ever to hit this forum.

200 hp at the wheels should be easly doable. I'm no big fan of the S cams for a road car but they do pull bigger numbers than my Solex cams at the top end.

Here's a dyno graph on a similar motor. I have a couple sessions on different ones
& the numbers are about the same.

I have seen Eddie's stunning tangerine dream a few times at Cars & Coffee in Irvine. Let me tell you it's way better in person than in the photos. The car is better than any 914 that came out of the factory; it really is flawless. It has caused me to only bring my 911 to C & C as my 914 would look so ragged in comparison, and mind you, my 914 is pretty nice!

Great restoration and an enjoyable thread to say the least.

I am humbled at all the support and compliments I've received on this board. Making this thread has kept me moving on this project even though there was plenty of times I took a break.

This project could not have been completed to this level without the 914World community; you guys are great. Thanks very much to all!

After this build, I now realize why 914's are not as popular as other models to restore. You really have to be crazy to spend this much time and money on a 914. In the end, I am very very happy with the results. I promise to drive it regularly and do my best to keep it looking great.

I've been a regular at Irvine CC as a spectator but it's a real blast to drive this car there for display; lot's of lookers and lot's of questions.

Thanks again for all the looks and compliments. You all are great!

I was planning on going to CC this Sat., any chance you'll be there?

Glad to hear my car is an inspiration but I would caution showing it to your wife. My wife thinks I need therapy because of this car...

914/6 No, 2145 is finished.


Not very many people get to make the statement that their car is DONE. But in your case it appears accurate. NOS visors........really? Phenomenal attention to detail and craftsmanship. I am in awe.
