Yes. What I'm guessing is you can't do a conversion car - 4 to 6 - but you can swap a larger 6 in a real 914-6 vin car.

No suby, chevy, rotary swaps in France.

I guess Irwan has the same strict rules as we have in Holland.
we cannot 'create' a 6.

I can kind of understand total different engine type swaps (V8, sub etc) as because, (don't get shouty guys) well, its a bitsa car and no base line to compare it against from a build and emissions perspective. But surey those concerns could also be overcome with a proper inspection regime?

I don't understand the logic it when there was type approval for a factory car running a six engine and you have created a factory / type replica, that really sucks and makes no sense to me

I guess the only way around it would be to import a six conversion. Then for all intents and purposes it was always a six?

Love the colour (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

...as in, they won't "know" the difference! I'd say that is a safe, calculated risk!

I agree calculated risk and very unlikely to be figured out, apart from the fact that we all know..... but then 914 World members are good at keeping secrets (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)

Still confused,why not hot the sh#t out of the original motor and make it a steath short stroke screamer ,the larger 3.0 litre will certainly cause you issues as you said.
Perhaps stuff lost in the language barrier,I don't know ?,we have very similar rules here and I'am in the position of having to convince the authorities mine is a stock 2.2T motor because we are only allowed to increase horsepower by 25% without another certification....I will lose that battle.
Anyway love this build and enjoying progress (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

In France it is forbidden to modify a car.

But I do not like an original 914/6 porsche. I like them prepared, with a big motor.

And then I roll very can on the road with.
