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 also need a 914 oil cooler or a 911 cooler modified to 914 spec. I would recommend you keep the factory cooler and since you're in a hot area the front cooler.
Ben's (mb911) oil tank is about the best deal going, I believe he can set you up with just about everything needed in that area. Ben is also reproducing the front cooler lines. The adaptor clutch from KEP I mentioned will work on both the 2.7 and 3.0/3.2, just the flywheels are different. The BMW brakes are old school, it's debatable if it gives much more stopping power. Most do the 5 lug porsche conversion, I did the 3" struts with Alfa brembos which are the same as 914/early 911 M calipers but in alunimum. You would need 5 bolt rims, but those 4 bolt fuchs you have are in demand to offset cost. Really take your time and look at other peoples conversion threads before you plop down cash. The /6 conversions are getting spendy and you don't want to be buying wrong bits. |
