My original 914-6 engine case, will be back with its car., Finally, you can never give up hope! Options

Well, my original 914-6 Engen case for #41 the 30 car off assembly line was found by Glenn Stazak who messaged me that Henry at Supertec Performance had my case. I have been looking for this case since 2007—Henry is Beed blasting it and delivering it to me. It was set up for a 2.5 SS same as the 69 S Eng. that was in the car when I bought it.
My buddy Alan S. says I found the golden ticket! I will not put it in my car but use it as a table in office just in case, on the case.

I guess you can never give up on looking.

Those early aluminum chain housings have value.
I know of a modified 6 (3.something, flares etc, etc.) and the location of the
original block. The car owner is not interested... even for cheap money.
Go figuire.
Congratulations Bob !
Good job Glenn !

Hi Lloyd

-- (the very nice guy I bought my car from—

This is a great project car for the right person. I bought it in 1980, and stopped driving it when it couldn't pass smog. It last ran in 1990 and has been stored under cover in my garage since 1990. Before I owned it, it was a project car of a guy that worked at a local Porsche speed shop. This has always been a California car. It has never seen salt and has no rust.Engine 2.5 L 20k Miles Aluminum case 2.2.

I have had many questions about the fuel filler area. Peter Dawe of Dawe's Motorsports helped build this car at Dick Troutmans's in the late 70s. I asked Petr how this was done, below is his answer.
Hi Lloyd From what i can remember the hinge and the flush mount latch was aircraft surplus. I believe all those parts are offered thru Aircraft Spruce Co. Peter welded a shaped piece of steel under the body cowl for the gas door to sit on . He also welded a fill pipe on to the gas tank. (Only for pros to weld) Then because of the pipe bends he had to put a vent from the original fill to the neck so the tank could be filled up to the top. All this was 20 years ago but I think thats about it. But you have to be as talented as Peter to do it right. Thats the TRICK. Thanks and happy holidays Petr Dawe
