Like Zach said before, just what the World needs is another progress thread. So here it is for my 71 1.7L red ride.
I'm working on an engine swap for my leaky 1.7L with slipping clutch to a non-leaking, unknown GEX rebuilt 1.8L so I decided to concatenate several threads on this car into one progress thread. Eventually I will sell the red 71 and keep the green 74 as my only 914. For now the plan is to get the new 1.8L engine in the car. The 1.8L has SSHE where the 1.7L in the car has very much corroded stock HE's. Here's pics after last year's rear end accident that totaled the car and the finished product after many months of rehab. Attached image(s)

QUOTE(Twystd1 @ Dec 29 2007, 01:09 AM)  Is that a GEX tag on this engine...??????????? Yep. I tried contacting GEX to find out what work was done on the engine but since the guy I bought the engine from had bought it from someone else, GEX couldn't (or didn't want to) find the build sheet on the engine to see what work had been done. They needed the name of the owner at the time and the name of the 1st owner (assuming I'm the 3rd) didn't come up in their database. I've had the engine running out of the car and it didn't leak oil and seemed to run fine given that I haven't loaded it down yet. It looks as if the case was opened as I could see some blue sealant on the inside of the oil breather opening. I assumed the blue sealant was not from the manufacturer. So, what's the scoop on GEX? Good? bad? Indifferent? Spoke |
