I would like to see some nice flat four engine pics, in the bay particularly. Carbs or injection, whatever.

ok, here is a shameless display of my car...

Sweet. Quick question, why put the coil in the trunk?

OK...bass ackward carb linkage, Permatune mounted under the relay board, 911 plug wires. Early heater fan mount cut down to mount the breather box.

Not my 356, but it is my work...2599cc

Hope to have my new 914 T4 engine done by the spring.

Here'a a couple from when I rebuilt mine.

From below.

Nice car! Carb question: I bought a T4 with IDF40s and the linkage was in the back of the engine. Yours are in the front. Is there a right or wrong way to install the carbs?

Spoke

HUGE engine-jack and car-lift envy...

thanks,

i think you can set it up either way depending on which way you want the throttle cable to pull, front the front or back.

Here's my turbo motor

wanted to keep the motor bay as clean as possible to make it easy to access. i have the mallory box in the cockpit with the accusump on the passenger floor and the coil and puke tank in the trunk.

My rebuild is underway, I'll post an engine bay photo as soon as it's back in the engine bay!

Travis, is that the engine from your grey 914 1.7? Looks sweet!

You have :ocdsmiley:

Sorry, I don't have an engine bay.

headrage,
your engine is beautiful, however you're going to have a hard time getting you side shift linkage to work, your engine bar is on backwards...
-Rob

Yup, I saw the same thing!

He's using the offset shift rod. Very rare.

Yep, rare shifter option.

Actually the pics are almost 2 years old and I realized the bar was ass backwards right after I posted them in '05.

Quick fix...

Mine after the rebuild and in the car . . . soory for the extreme lack of beauty

It is a 2.0 I bought several years ago, it cleaned up really good. It was in my white 73, but later I put it in the gret 72 - but an spark plug insert had failed and it is back to a 1.7 for the time being.

T4 all stock except for filter...

U4

wow, Grant has a blower for his Type IV...way to go dude !!!!

not much to look at right now......

Mine Last November

Bling Bling...not mine BTW

Ah, the often maligned single carb on a T4 ....

1 of 2

That's a good looking 1.7 Doug!

'76 2.0 going in. I don't have a good one of it in. I should take one I guess.

What is a good way to restore the fan shroud to a more factory look? I don't like shiney silver paint.

Perhaps some type of bead blasting? It's made of magnesium, hard to clean it up and get it looking decent. I had mine powder coated silver.

Sweet shinny squid like perversion!!!

Me likes!!

My 76 2.1L 2 years ago.....

1.7l

I have tried a few different things over the years but the only thing that I have

been happy with was:

1) Degrease and bead blast.

2) High temp aluminium paint.

3) Polyurethan clear.

The poly.. dulls the silver and the protects it from getting stained. I used Poly...

on my RC hydros to protect the paint from the Nitrobenzene fuel we used.
