911 2.7L Engine

I will give registered 914World users a 15% discount.

Complete 2.7L engine from 1974, serial number 6142439, 7R case. The engine is torn down waiting for a rebuild as a result of my stalled 914 transplant. I am moving and don’t have room in my new home for a workshop.

This is the most desirable of the 2.7L engines with 1974 being prior to the use of thermal reactors and having the 7R case.

The engine was removed from a 911 a number of years ago in working condition and was replaced by a 3.2L engine. I purchased the engine 3 years ago to rebuild and transplant into my 914.

Prior to removal from the donor 911 the engine was rebuilt, the crankshaft was Magnafluxed and polished and case inserts were installed. My teardown discovered one broken piston compression ring on cylinder #6 with a minor scratch in the cylinder wall. The cylinders are the preferred nikasil coated type.

The engine is complete with all parts, labeled nuts & bolts, labeled cylinders/pistons/piston pins. It also has 1.5” headers (one will require minor repair for a crushed tubing bend).

It also will include the full CIS fuel injection system, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. Finally included is the engine tin and engine mounts.

Hi there. Why would it need to be rebuilt if it was already rebuilt?

It looks like it just needs to be re assembled

So is that 15% off $2500?

Nope reserve not meet at $2500 so $2150 will not do it.

Assume it would be off the Buy it now price.

For someone that would want to build it in the quickest way you should at least:
1. Hone the cylinders
2 install new piston rings.
3. New main bearings as long as your in there.

I was also going to do the following:
3. New 9.5 to one pistons
4. 964 grind cams
5. Heads reworked
6. 914/6 Headers, 1 2/3”
7. Case checked for warpage
8. Induction?. Either the CIS or Megasquirt.

For someone wanting to do the transplant to a 914/6 I also have some items that will be listed in the next few days. This includes an oil tank and correct flywheel.

Would you please post a photo of the cylinders, and particularly the scratch

I only took a photo of cylinder #6 because the others look good. You can feel the scratch with your finger nail but not otherwise.

Not bad. A Nikasil replate isn't all that expensive.
