If someone is going to start looking for a 6 to build what do you want and what do you want to avoid?

2.7....A great deal since people think they are junk and can be bought cheap.
You need: 1. case line bored and decked 2. stud holes repaired with inserts (many 911 years need this) 3. Pressure fed chain tensioners (they all need that) 5. replace the 5 bladed fan for a later fan 6. install a front oil cooler (anything above a 2.2 needs it despite what you hear) 7. lose the thermal reactors. (a no brainer for a 914) 8. Standard overhaul (replace what's needed) With the above you get a GREAT engine that will cause you no problems. Repair it right and keep it cool and you'll have a happy engine. No need to hide from a 2.7 |
