Hey Teeners,
Over the years I've owned some 911's but, have recently acquired my first 914 with little to no rust (southern car) and this led me to join 914world forum. My question is there been any Cayman motor swaps out there and threads I could read, follow and ask questions. I have access to a complete 2009 2.9 (base) Cayman motor complete with harness and ECU. Thanks, Mark |

QUOTE(MotoringMan @ Nov 30 2018, 09:17 AM)  1973 1.7 Pretty car. No way would I engine swap it. Find a beater 914 and play with it. I'm doing a suby swap on a chassis that the prior owner already cut out the engine shelf, half the rear trunk and installed a nasty roll cage that I had to remove. Chassis was hacked so no real loss. No way would I do that to the car you show in the pics. |
