Okay so here is my teaser! I've always wanted a 914-6. I finally took the plunge & bought one. Most of you are probably thinking it is a v6 or some crazy thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . You've got a week to just sit there & wonder
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) .Yeah I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Damn he guessed it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Nothing to spectacular but I was intrigued. Pretty solid car overall & a driver. Needs paint & will be getting the 5-lug conversion off my black car in short order (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Holy crap these pics are tiny. Sorry I'll get more when I pick it up this weekend Attached image(s) |

Okay some more info. It's a 72 Gemini Blue Metallic (L96E) with a 66 Corvair 110 motor in it. It had Dual weber 40mm carbs & I'm curious on this setup as it isn't a triple weber's. So the 2 port weber's are feeding the 3 ports on the motor? I suppose it's better than a single carb setup for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . So the Corvair motor had to have the Cam changed over to run the right direction. A few other things as well for it to work. It was done 20 years ago but is solid overall. It's still an aircooled setup at least right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .
Anyone know Corvair motor's that would have an idea what kind of HP & Torque this motor would have |

I'm no expert but from what I understand those engines seemed to make a little more power when reversed than stock rotation given the same specs. Something like 12% IIRC. They are also torquey little guys. The 110s made 160 ft/lb at around 2500 rpm.
I want to do this swap one day but I have tons of other projects before that. Good luck and keep us posted! Kevin |
