914-6 engine, Value Options

[HansJan]

Here is the engine number.

I believe that is from a very early 914-6 chassis number European model. Ref here http://p914-6info.net/Engine_Numbers.htm

As previously stated this a fairly complete unit. Heat exchangers are worth $1500 if in good condition. Heat valves are there too if original six are worth something. Also has front motor mount and carbs Depending on what all else you have agree worth About 6000

That is a 1970 914-6 European engine number.

Thank you.
Any ballpark ideas what it would cost to convert my 4 to accept this 6?
I understand that it needs front mounted oil-cooler, an oil tank and engine tins.

Am I missing something else expensive?

Shouldn’t need a front cooler. Stock sixes never had them.
Engine mount, oil lines, heat exchangers or headers, muffler, oil pressure and temp gauge. Engine harness. Shift rod modification. Labor

No need for a front mount cooler. This engine will run fine on the engine mounted cooler. You will need an oil tank and the lines, a fuel pump suitable for carbs, the bulkhead engine mount, maybe a different shift rod depending on trans type and what is in your car now, throttle linkage, engine tins, muffler,

I’m sure there are other things but these are the big ones.

Most of these items are available after market in some shape or form. Start researching. It is all here.

Assuming this is a stock two liter six, you might be disappointed in the performance compared to your big four.

its a lot of details.
probably 10K in parts

it also depends on what else you might change while your there... .
5 bolt wheels and brakes? New shocks? Sway bars?


just the motor requires:

shift linkage/with shifter and trans rods to convert to a side shift?
tach
throttle cable
throttle bell crank
motor (hopefully it doesn't need a 10K rebuild)
motor mount
oil tank, plus associated filler neck, cap, dipstick, mounting rubber
oil feed line
oil return line
flywheel (might be on the motor) and new clutch components for wear
headers
muffler
muffler bracket possibly
engine tins
other things and freshening while your in there

Brant is right, check on the motor condition before you set of on the six jorney. $!0K is pretty much the DIY price to rebuild these engines. And that's if all the major components are usable and rebuildable. Then add $1-2K on top of that for a carb rebuild.

Not sure if you mentioned what this motor runs like ?,no point in trying to keep to a budget with a '6' build as you will most likely spend way more,it just keeps mounting up....ask me how I know.
I was able to make a lot of parts for my conversion and save $$$ but not everyone can do that.
Good luck.
