Hi guys,
Going to the dark side. I've decided I want a six.
Would like to purchase a good condition 2.4L six or 3.0
Could be from 911 E,T or SC
Just putting feelers out here. Would prefer complete motor with
carbs. But a nice running Fuel inj. wouldn't be excluded. I know prices are all over
the map. So I don't have a set price. It obviously depends on motor/situation.
I live in PA. Please pm me with any info.
I would be keeping the 901 trans. as it has been
recently overhauled. Thanks everyone.

Cheers,Dion

Wha!!!! Taking out that nice running CIS motor? I'm moving in that direction too. If interested, check out my blog: type 47's blog. The 69 T engine (2L) is completely disassembled and the case is in for measurement. Do you want to build a motor?

What is your budget?

Ahhhh. Yeah still working those numbers to see where I'm going to be at. I know the
$ will be up as the more and fresh the motor will be.
Heheh yes Jim, Dave is a bad influence.
But I'm trying ( in my mind) to capture that
rally car vibe of the 70's with a strong 2.4L for long distance runs and rallies.

Budget for -
Engine
Engine tin
Headers or heat exchangers
Muffler
Engine wire harness
Oil lines
Oil tank
Oil cooler
Engine mount
Modify shift linkage
Tach
Oil pressure/temp gauge
Maybe a starter motor
Accelerator linkage
Miscellaneous nuts and bolts
clutch

Mark, were you in my garage? That's my list! Heheh

Don't forget springs, shock valving, chassis stiffening and tires.

I’ve got one but you would not like the price, 2.4 alum case, pauter rods, 964 oil pump, head work, twin plugged, blah blah bah.
What springs are recommended when you go to a six?

For a street car I'd start with 19mm torsion bars and 200 pound rear springs. Adjustable front anti-roll bar to tune.

Rear suspension done. Stiffening in the cards
I did an edit. A 2.4L or 3.0L is the candidates now.
Thanks everyone.

Cheers,Dion

Hhmmm. I'm interested in knowing why you skipped over the 2.7?

yea...............don't pass over the 2.7....maybe the most perfect 914/6 engine ever.

I may be biased

That would be a great solution to your get-a-6 itch ...

Yep, that is a nice mild build. Should go for over $20K, I would think.

I would not mind a 2.7 but I'm thinking the price will really be out of my scope.
They are commanding a premium right now.
If I add all the parts to make a nice 2.7 starting with basic case and add the necessary bits, well... I've seen a nice completed one for 25K. I still need other bits.

Can I sell a kidney to buy that mill?

Except for the Engine Tin,Oil Tank and Oil Lines, that description fits a Suby conversion as well.

My reserve is quite a bit lower than that......................bid early and often, you never know.....you might get lucky!!!!

Al, are you doing EFI kits? Please PM me with your email. I would love to chat with you about that
