Hey Geir. Can you post a picture of your muffler bracket? I have the stock muffler bracket with a muffler similar to yours and I want to add the straps to support the muffler in the center.

It's based on a 911 bracket and some stainless straps I made.The straps are not tightened up in the pic.

Thank you for posting that picture. So it looks like you do not have any other support for the exhaust? I guess this is how it is on the 911 I was thinking of welding some tabs to the 914 bracket and then use some straps. I have had a little cracking here and there on the exterior of the stock 911 muffler for my track car.

Hi Rory.The engine type nr is 911/51 from a early -73 911T?


Nice engine ,that year would make it a 2.4 ?,was it a T,E or S engine to start with?.
Would do you think the weight would be compared to a standard 914 ?......I would think much lighter ,going to be a quick little car.
I have peeled as much weight from mine as possible but added a six lump ,oil tank etc etc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
You appear to have the advantage on power to weight here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) .

I haven't checked,but I think Rory said it was a 911T engine with MFI.
I took the engine apart and it was completely coaxed and no compression on three cylinders.I had Mahle cylinders with 2 mm larger bore and JE high comp pistons lying around.Some work on the heads and two new rocker shafts and it runs strong so far.
My plan was to have a MFI engine in this project,but carbs is OK.
No idea on the weight,but I suppose its a bit lighter.
Looks like that on the rear springs.....

The only thing nice with this bastard was the dashboard.Been looking at it for a couple of months now and I don't think it was right for this car so I cut it out.It has to get another look...sad to say.Lots of extra work.
