VIN is 30011 & it came from the Factory with a GT kit including: "twin plug heads; non-adjustable forged rockers titanium rods; 46 IDA carbs with steel carb covers; Koni shocks; Fiberglas rockers, front & rear deck lids; long studs." - but narrow (non-flared) body. The car - which has only covered 9979 km (that's 6,237 miles !) - is currently being painstakingly restored : |

Wohhhh Andy...you're reading something into Eric's posts that isn't there man, lighten up. I didn't see where Eric misquoted you either. Seemed to me he was simply interpreting what you posted and asking for clarification. Buuuut anyway...
VIN: 914.114 Project Number: 914/11 Color: Yellow Info: Owned by Sam Charters, 6-Cyl. 911T Engine, 2.0L, Weber carburetors Oldest 914-6 we know of to date Is that a stock /6 engine then? Or were these literally unmodified 911T engines dropped in as part of the test platform? It certainly sounds like the latter, I only ask because in my reading I've come to conclusion that a stock /6 engine is "essentially" a 911T engine. I'm just not clear what the "essentially" part implies. Thanks Reid edit: fixed quote |

I'm just not clear what the "essentially" part implies. Little details that make them not quite identical and interchangeable. e.g. - the motor number is stamped in a different location. The oil cooler is different. The air cleaner is a little different. I'm sure there a few others but those come to mind... |
