Hi, I'm curious to know about engine options to build a "six". I've seen other 911 engines and subaru engines too. but has anyone tried Honda/Acura? Maybe a motorcycle engine build? I'm no mechanic. not sure if this is even possible.
any advice is welcome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thank you! |

IMHO, smaller 911 engines (up to 3.2L) are by far the easiest to install since they are a direct bolt in and the 914 chassis was built to accommodate them.

The welded-in mounts are definitely preferred, and of course you have to do some cutting of the side of the engine bay to fit the oil tank... But the 911 engines are a very well-understood swap, and improve the car markedly. No debates about them, like there are about the V8 and Scooby motor swaps. --DD |

For the smaller displacements, a quick six mounting bar using the stock /4 engine mounts is sufficient and the factory already stamped the sheetmetal where one needs to cut holes for the oiltank. So yes, i stand by my earlier post. Bolt-in with minimum amount of work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
