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! |

Perry Kiehl (on this website) will build you a killer engine wiring harness for your 914-6 conversion.
Fiberglass engine tin will be fragile. A better but more expensive option is Restoration Design's better than factory engine sheet metal for $900. Best to use the 911 type of gauges that would have come with your 3 liter engine. |
