Can you tell us the intended use for the vehicle?
It really would help if you'd like us to give you brake and suspension recommendations.
Sorry, for the delay. Ever notice how working for a living gets in the way of having fun?
What is my intended use for the vehicle? Kind of what a Porsche was intended for… Lot’s of Spirited Driving… Long drives freeway, lots of twisties, as little commuter driving as possible and spirited A/X. A/X is not the focus. Driving the on the highways and mountain roads in the SF Bay area.
My current project plan for the car is to:
Get the suspension dialed
911 front suspension
five lug conversion
16x6 fuchs
Koni adjustables front using 914 insert in the 911 struts
911 under tank sway bar
Stock rear sway bar
Rear 100# springs
Koni adjustables rear
911 brake master cylinder
Thinking about V-Calipers on the rear’s
Freshen the paint – Malaga Red
Upgrade to leather upholstery
Freshen Engine
I have two numbers matching 1975 running 1.8L
Option 1
Rebuild a perfectly stock Fuel Injected 1.8L.
Option 2
Build a type 4 carbureted 150 HP
Option 3
Build the biggest badest carbureted 911 engine I can afford
Option 4
Build a 2.7 to 3.2 911 FI engine with A/C (Imagine A/C in a 914 a 30 year foolish dream) that I can afford
Dr Evil Tranny rebuild (gearing based upon engine above)
Last but not least… Drive Car in a spirited way
