I think Scotty wants to build an 12 cylinder boxter motor.

Cool motors, I wish I could swap my 2.7 for one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Pooh, and I just noticed one already has a 914/6 oil cooler, nice!

The cooler might be for sale. I'm thinking of using a bypass on the engine from aircooled racing and just using one cooler in the front of the car.

Very nice to see the engine made it safely to VA and is now in close proximity to my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It is an '89 3.2.

The next thing I have to do is call Web Cams and see what the specs are for the cams it has in it. It came with the stock cams too in case I want to switch back. The ones in the engine are supposed to be similar to 964 cams. The engine also came with a Steve Wong chip as well as the stock chip.

It has approximately 40K miles on it, I have the paperwork from the original owner whose car it came out of as well as the guy I just bought it from. The motor sat in a garage for over 10 years until the seller I purchased it from installed it in his car a couple of years ago and drove it; I know it needs a complete valve job and guides at the minimum. Then whatever else Scotty thinks it needs it will get.

PS - It also came with a set of headers (911) which I would like to sell, extra fan, shroud, and assorted other parts. I heard and saw it run before I bought it via Face Time - which was cool.

dibs on the headers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'll talk to you about the extra parts as well. Might want to hold onto the alt until yours is in and known good.

the 3.2 heater boxes are in excellent shape if anyone needs them

also send me all the inf you have on the engine when you get it all so i know what I am dealing with internally and externaly. It looks like an Autothority MAF unit, but the sticker is old and can't be read. Model number would be handy. If that is what it is I'll contact Autothority and see if I can get a new sticker for it if that is what you choose to run

As a side note, the local guy I've started getting parts from has about a dozen or more 914's and a warehouse full of parts but the jewel is a gold 914-6 that is sitting up high on a stand with the wheels off and you can see all the parts have been powder coated and everything. Pretty sweet car. Guy has just about every part you can imagine, it's crazy.

Ha! Yes, yes it was. I got some 5-bolt stuff from him and was just awed by the vast quantity of parts he had. I could get lost in there for days with enough beer and pizza. ;-)

Scotty - We can work something out on the headers......what could it be.....maybe some work on that Six sitting in your shop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As for the heat exchangers from the 3.2, they are available if anyone needs them for a very fair price.

I don't know what to do re the Autothority MAF unit, but go ahead and see if you can get a new sticker, that would be nice. We will have a talk about that and the cams once I get the specs from Web. Essentially, if these items, cams and MAF unit, do not create issues as to reliability, driveability and maintenance, and broaden the torque curve or add a little HP...I say let's go with them. But that is just my knee-jerk reaction w/o and research or discussion with those in the know.

Scotty you are right about the alternator and Mark is right about the fan shroud. We will hold on to both of those items until we know if the ones on the engine are good, or as good as the spares.

I am so happy that the engine arrived crated as if it were going to circumnavigate the globe! My thanks to Ben Merriman over at the bird site.

Terrific! I am pleased to see the metal work being started on the chassis.

We will have to see what the heat exchangers look like when blasted. May need to replace them with some of the soon-to-be manufactured SS heat exchangers.

Thanks for the pictures Scotty.

Wow, good pictures, informative narrative of doint it right. Everybody wishes we could have a new, 40 year old car. I wish I had the time, money, tools, facilities, ....and talent to do this.

And I agree on the light ivory. That would make it a good candidate for a Creamesicle!!! Wowww, a -6 Creamsickle!











Hello?......

I appreciate the thoughts as my car moves along in Scotty's shop. I am still leaning towards Light Ivory with the backup color being Irish Green. This car will not be a creamsicle Six though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) .
