You can stick any air-cooled 6 Cylinder 911 Motor in without drivetrain Mods. However I believe 3.6s need engine bay Mods (Sir Andy can address that). And when you go above certain HP, the 901 Tranny won't like it - so a switch to a 915 will be necessary.

As far as what size motor - how much do you want to spend & how fast do you want you want to go.

There are a Ton of Threads relating to 6 Cylinder Conversions on this Forum. This Thread & Car was already a 914-6

And

A couple of update photos, Next flair work to fit TB's.

TC did you have the front calipers ? or is it a new addition.

I gave him 911S Calipers redone by PMB

Holly Crap! You aren't done yet!? Beautiful work!

It's moved on to another guy who is going the race car route (last time he told Lufthansia GT Replica)

The new owner sent me some update pics today. He has decided not to make it a Lufthansa Race Car clone. Part of the reason for repaint is he went with 9" wheels and they had to pull the flares out, filled in the Original Antenna Hole (?), Cut-out on front hood for a thru gas filler, cut-out in the interior to get to the Fan, crinkle finish on the sail panels & roof, etc.

ya, that paint job was bubble luscious.....

What Paint Job, the one my guy put on? It was good, ask URY or bcheney. I found one small flaw, but nothing that worried me

time marches on.....glad you talked to the buyer

This is such a heartbreaking thread, I knew the car was sold, but never went through this entire thread before. Glad you have a few other p-car distractions.

I actually considered (briefly) selling my turbo and my 914 (my 1st car) to buy this as I love the car and what you put into it, ultimately I realized couldn't bear to part with either.

After looking through this thread, I just realized I bought the 8" minilites you had on the car for my ST project! Sorry it had to change owners, it was a great project!

Cool, Glad they went to a Good Home - Those size Tires are impossible to get now

I hope you got the Special Lug Nuts that are Unique to the Wheels

I was hoping you would still have it, I am moving out there in a couple months and was excited to get to see it. Oh well I am still excited to move where there are a few more teener lovers in the area.

I told you the IMSA car will be done first.

John

Yes, got the lugs! I wish I could get some 215/50/15's for the front, don't know what to do there. I love the 245's, they're so faaat! Where did you get the glass hood and decklid? I'm thinking of a 914 project. A friend has a good one sitting in his yard.

The Hoods came with another GT Project that I bought & I transfered the Parts to this car

Nope ...

Some things are easier, for example removing the torsion bars for the rear trunk lid will give you some extra space for the intake elbow and removing the (not needed anymore) relay board gives you extra room for other stuff on that side.

But basically, you can stuff a 3.6L in there without any mods or cutting.

Why no more progress pics ?? magazine deal in work...

Because the New Owner is Not a Member here.

I meant, no more can be taken because it will be in a magazine.

if you are a PCA Member, this car is in the most current Panorama. Todd really had some top-notch people finish it off!

Looking at it now...WOW is that a cool car!

That was a Good Day!

I still have these if someone wants to buy them

#673 is being Restored again for the 3rd time!

They got 12 years out of it. Was it crashed?

I lost track of it until I saw a Post on Facebook by Kent Brosseau that looked familiar. I sent him a message and sure enough it was 673

Had to go back to the bones....
