Michelle and I picked up our new to us 914-6 over the weekend. We practiced social distancing and kept safe. Two days home, 920 miles, the 914 never missed a beat.
Here's a picture at a rest stop about 30% of the way home. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

The engine is a 2.7 with CIS, Aluminum case, 993 cam towers and cams with hydro lifters. Seat of the pants has me thinking around 180hp.
The paint sucks. BUT, I don't care, it's a solid 914 with about 3 Mayco paint jobs slathered over the original Anacona Blue. I originally thought I wouldn't repaint for a year or so, but that I won't make it that long. This thing needs to be stripped and painted correctly. From the Sellers original Ad: The one of a kind engine is built as a tribute to the Porsche air cooled engine design with components and improvements considered the best over the 30+ year history of the 911 engine design evolutions. Engine approximately 5000 miles on rebuild - 1968 early sand cast case (#3380133) bored for 2.7, oil bypass modification, oil squirters added. Work done by Ollies - Original 911S 8.5:1 CIS pistons and Nikasil cylinders. - 74 911S heads with 46/40 valves rebuilt by Ted Robinson at German Precision. - 94 993 cams with keyway, 993 cam towers, 993 valve covers and 993 hydraulic lifters. - Hydraulic chain tensioners. - 911SC aluminum 4 rib oil pump 911-107-008-05 - Original 74 911S CIS fuel injection. - Genuine 914-6 oil tank. Exhaust 993 heat exchangers into dual inlet stock muffler Wheels Genuine Fuchs alloys, rear are deep sixes Brakes and suspension - Front 911S front struts, calipers and rotors with 3.5" caliper mounting - Rear 911S calipers and rotors with drum-in-hat parking brake - 180lb rear springs MSD electronic ignition and distributor module. Body in original condition except for paint. Original paint was L97B Anacona Blue Metallic. No rust. Owned since 1987 |

Dan,
Good to hear you are back in 914's. Not surprised your 914 is red. What color will the repaint be? Starting to really regret selling mine. Damn that was a solid car body wise! I sure disliked those hydraulic lifters in it tho". If it was driven every day, all was fine. But let it sit several days and clatter away for 10-15 minutes. Used to scare me how much noise they made. Do the hydros in 6s do that? Later, Tom |

I’d like to see how they used the 993 heat exchangers and I wish we didn’t need to deal with this coronavirus because I’d love to help you sand down that body.

Picture of the 993 heater boxes.
The heater works really well, nice clean heat. Very good airflow. If you look closely, notice there's no 914-6 bulkhead or cross bar. He modified the 911 bar and put mounts on the engine bay shelves. I'm eh about it, he reinforced the shelves and it looks okay. But I'm pretty certain I'll install a bulkhead mount. Attached image(s) ![]() |

My Mexi Bug (2003) will clatter every once in a while if the Bug has sat for a few weeks. Oil makes a big difference. 5/40W seems to do the best. |

With building a house as my first priority, I'm not getting anything done on the 914-6 other than order up some parts here and there.
I drove it again last week and oh-boy, that is one sweet engine! With CIS, CATS and hydro-lifters, I'm certain the 2.7 isn't living up to it's potential. But it has plenty of power, very quiet and the heat works so fast and so well. Here's a picture sitting next to my Bug: Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

And this is why the paint/color change will happen sooner than later. Yes, you can see instead of painting red in things like trunks and door jams, there is brushed on black paint.
Looks like someone tried to clean around the VIN sticker (New on already one the way from Car-Bone.pl) and destroyed it. I'm hoping this year I'll get the 914 stripped down and painted back to the original Anacona Blue. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Congratulations! Sounds like it was a great, long drive home. The original Ancona Blue would look sharp!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Nice find! Sounds like a fun car with that engine in it!

Is the case aluminum? There's $10k right there!
I'd like to see more pics of the exhaust when you get them. 993 shouldn't be that bad for flow, Porsche was getting better with exhaust systems by then. That size of cats and they're away from the engine, hot but shouldn't cause issues. Nice score, I knew you'd be back into a /6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

993 heat exchangers work great.. They are not equal length but they are 1.625.. I ran these on my 911 turbo 3.2 short stroke build.. Worked really well.
I would highly recommend running the mad dog factory style bulk head mount. It allows for the most clearance every which way you look at it. |

If not, maybe I need to upgrade to the factory style. |

I would love to sell you a set of my 1.625 heat exchangers though not sure you really need them.. |
