Look like the right list of bits for a 914/6 build Options

[Tdskip]

Good morning, can we pretend for a minute that I was going to do a 914/6 build with a 1974 that is already missing its engine. Further, can we imagine that I would be trying to build a car that would be used rather than showed, and that building a clone and/or a "correct" car is not a goal. The goal would be a well balanced, reliable and sorted out car for backroad touring use.

Does this look like the necessary bits?

-2.7 or 3.0l engine with CIS (have this)
-engine tin
-oil tank
-front oil cooler
-to/from oil cooler lines
-throttle linkage
-fuel pump
-fuel lines
-engine lid latch relocation bits (due to CIS)
-headers
-flywheel
-ECU
-CDI box
-O2 sensor
-Engine mount
-320i front brakes since the extra horsepower probably deserves it

Edit - adding these from Cario and Defianty

muffler
thermostat for the oil cooler
gauges to work with new engine
Filler neck for the oil tank
Oil dipstick
Oil filter console
Six muffler
19mm master cylinder
FI harness (missed that one)

Edit - adding from Lucky9146

Conversion Wiring harness?
914-6 trans mid-plate for throttle or some other contraption, not sure w/FI
Shift Rod modified for headers
Oil cooler thermostat
Oil cooler shroud
Oil Cooler Fans
Oil Fed chain tensioners

Edit - adding from mb911

headers or heat exchangers

Am I missing anything? I did try searching and reading prior discussions.

Thanks!

You are on your way. Great guys that will help you out if you need and give great advice more than any other Porsche site I have found.

2.7 S is nice but the 3.0 are a super choice for engine, just stronger with better elements. I went with a later 3.0 and put 3.2 hears with the bigger vales different cams and 46PMOs

I had a 74 ( factory Black car) with a 3.0 CIS conversation back in early 80 when not that many people knew what to do. Stock body with Mahle Gas Burner Sports Wheels for Porsche 911 914- Now $4900.


Blue is a great color. Are you going to keep it a stock body?

Hi Bob. Everyone here as been super helpful, I feel very fortunate to have found you all.

Leaning towards 3.0l as well...

Did you like the CIS? I know most like the sound / looks of the PMO carbs but I don't think I really want to spend the money those at this point when I have a happy CIS system. The car will see altitude changes as well.

I am currently planning on keeping t a stock narrow body car.
