First I'm 52, so I'm not in danger of dying of old age any time soon (knock on wood), but if I don't get it in gear and get this done I'll be too old to enjoy it. My 914 has already been off the road since 2009 and that is just too long. Life has gotten in the way these past 4 years and deciding to homeschool my two kids with me going part time work (so low funds), full time teacher (so no time) didn't help.
But I have been picking away at jobs and collecting parts and I'm pretty well ready to make the push to get it done. Also my boy has decided to go back to regular school (starts next week) and the girl is super easy to teach by herself. I'm also pushing to get my almost completed '67 VW bug project done as well. The bug engine is where this started, I a quest for power I began building a type 4 2.6L engine for my 914, then I got sexed up by the /6 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) I'll start a VW bug thread (later) to keep the 2 projects separate. So what have I collected so far??? Well.... here's my build sheet... Engine build sheet for 3.0 1974 914 six conversion. Engine 3.0L, 70.4mm X 95mm, 10.5: 1 CR Case, 1979, 3.0, serial # *6399XXX, 930/13, 930.101.104.4R, Supertec head studs Crank, stock, std/std, polished and magnafluxed, converted to CW distributor drive gear Rods, stock, rebuilt big and small end, new bushings, ARP bolts and nuts Flywheel stock, with custom 914-901 adapter ring, CSP 228mm bus HD pressure plate Full engine balance, pressure plate and adapter ring balanced separately Main bearings, new glyco, DFL (Dry Film Lube) coated #8 Main bearing, original Porsche, DFL coated Rod bearings, new glyco, DFL coated Intermediate shaft bearings, new Porsche, DFL coated Gasket set, new nose and rear main seal, Supertec sealant kit Pump, stock, cooler stock 911 modified to 914/6 spec Pistons, Mahle, new, 3.0 custom RSR, DFL coated skirts, ceramic coated tops, Goetze rings Cylinders, stock 3.0 nickasil, replated Milenium/LN engineering, stock gaskets, .025mm base gasket Heads, 3.0 big port, minor port work, twin plug Valves, stock size, exhaust new TRW sodium, intake new AE Valve springs, Eibach 20444.212, retainers early stock, keepers stock modified Ceramic chambers and exhaust ports Cams, WEB-CAM, 120/104, set at 5.2mm/.10 lash, 964 cores modified to 901 spec Towers, spray bars R&R, tapped and cleaned, rockers resurfaced and rebushed, RSR rocker shaft seals Chains, new IWIS, new cam sprockets, keys and pins Tensioners, hydraulic, no fail modification 906 style cylinder cooling deflectors Cooler, stock, 3.0, modified for 914 Oil tank, DWD Oil, Brad Penn break in, Delo400 15w40 Oil filter, Mahle OC54 (late 911) Carburetors, Weber 40mm IDA, rebuilt, new carb kits, 34mm venturis, 155 main jets, F3 emulsion tubes, 180 air correction, 55 idle, Ported stock manifolds, custom phenolic spacers.

First the foundation of my build, a 1979 3.0 case, this engine began it life in a 911 with an automatic. IMO automatics have the best low wear cases.
This has been cleaned about 3-4 times and it will be cleaned a few more times before I'm happy. Attached image(s) |

A job I just tackled was loctite epoxy on all the case plugs.

So similar, but the kids are grown and I have a few more years on you. I'm motivated!

One thing this build will have that I've never done before is full DFL (dry film lube) coating treatment on every thing I can coat, plus ceramic barrier coatings on the piston tops. these are both oven cured coatings.
I picked up a cheap mini touch up gun for spraying the coatings Attached image(s) |

Who are you going to use for the piston crown thermo process?...never mind I just noticed it in your posting.
Good luck Ps, I just called the # on your posting and it directed me to a Texas area code. Sorry to ask, but how did you come up with this solution vs sending it out to one of the big mfg to do this? |

Do you have any more info on the flywheel setup? Im planning a -6 conversion and may use a later motor with the 901. |

Made my own adapter ring, uses a type 4 bus pressure plate. Once bolted together it looks a lot like a stock 914/4 flywheel. Here's the ring when I was drilling some holes, low tech I don't have an spin index (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |

Plus I can dump the kids there if I have things to do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Dohhh...damn squirrel....gotta stay on topic ....gotta stay on topic..... |

Getting my kit together for the balance work, a couple of questions ....
I stick with the 930 pulley right? And the big fan pulley is for the 930 crank pulley I assume??? Attached image(s) |
