I figured why not start this thread. The car is a 74 914 2.0 that's been sitting since the early 90's. It was parked outside/in the woods up until my brother purchased it last fall. It didn't look too bad from 20 feet away but when you look closer it gets pretty bad. So, here's the plan... strip the car, fix the rust problems, paint it, add a 5 lug suspension, and convert it to a 3.0 6. Stay tuned for pics of the progress..

Go Go Go Luke ! Engine start up before install is so good, best way to go with new or unknown engine. You and your brother are quite a team. Great work ! More pics please ! |

More pics please ! Hi Rory, My brother and I have been working away here. I rebuilt the 3.0 a few years ago now but was sitting on the engine stand until recently. I wanted to run the engine outside the car cause it's just way easier to see problems. I didn't want to have to pull it out of the car after I ran it to torque everything again. The test stand wasn't bad to build and cost was under $500 for what I needed to buy for it. The cost was worth not having to crawl under the car well not just yet anyways. Getting the engine on the stand was easy and straight forward. It's mounted on factory trans/motor mounts so nothing special there. I had a bad trans case hanging around so I'm using that on the back half. Wiring is easy once I had the proper schematic in hand. Using MSD 6al for the ignition and just a facet fuel pump for fuel supply. I had an issue with the new starter cranking slow but that was fixed with an extra ground wire to the front of the engine mount. Once the carbs had fuel in them the engine fired right up. I was shocked at how close I had dialed the carbs in on the bench. I still need to fine tune them but 1st I want to get a few heat cycles done and re-torque everything. Once that's done I'll go back and tune the Webers. I'll try to figure out how to post a video here. Attached image(s)
