One possibly could check the Fuchs to see what the date code was which I believe in 67 was unique to have Fuchs. Assuming maybe someone took the Fuchs and the engine out of the same donor car!

Maybe someone will get lucky but I have a feeling the guys at BHCC know what they have and have priced it accordingly.

Wow. Somebody started quite the science project on that one. Twin turbo charged, "creative" oil circuit and many other things that you just can't tell what they were up to. Looks like they read an engineering book that taught them fins are good for cooling so they put them everywhere they could. Chassis is a nightmare, looks of indications of serious rust (bubbles at a-pillar, pass side jack point missing, valences barely attached, ...) And what's with the later style bumper on the front? Did someone forward date the front bumper back in the day? Used to happen on 911s. Maybe there were some motivated 914 owners too. BHCC finds another perfect "candidate for restoration". It looks to me like they put the rubber cover from a BUB over the front bumper. I think I see the rubber top of the '74 bumper peeking out in the corners. |

We’ve several forum members that have chimed in on this 914 with expertise on rebuilding and identifying 911 engines. What are your thoughts or gut feelings? 1) It’s probably not a 67-911 2.0L S engine 2) BHCC probably know exactly what they have just not disclosing it although possibly could be setting themselves up for a lawsuit 3) Don’t have enough information to draw a logical conclusion. What other questions would you be asking?

I didn't see a reference to S.. a 67 case is wanted , but needs 2k worth of upgrades for a hot rod.. I have a complete 68 engine for 10500, with webers.
I did sell a no number 64/65 case fore $22,500 |

It’s amazing what these engines are bringing these days! Unfortunately without further inspection I’m not willing to take that gamble on this 1967 2.0L engine or whatever it actually is. Thanks for the insight of current market values. I will keep your 68 in mind. Thanks

I believe in 67-68 they were Aluminum cases. If so that could be checked pretty easy with a magnet. Magnet? '68 changed to mag. mid year/ 68 mag .. 68 alum. cases are the best, they accept later chain housings , no mods.. |

Why do the underside pics show what looks like a 914/4 crossbar and a deep sump from a type 4? The early 911 aluminum cases don't look like that.

Maybe it is one of those 500hp 2.1 RSR turbo race 911 motors. More likely another baffling Beverly Hill Billys Clown Car Club special.

I'll take a swag that it's not an aluminum case. First mfi was 1969... and mag case.
Intake valve covers look like sand cast aluminum. Can't tell if mfi intakes are mag or plastic. Horrid hack job... and too bad about that rare oil tank. If those are real Fuchs, the front struts 3.5" caliper spacing, and the rear 5 lug conversion is correct, I'd give $10k sight unseen. |

Why do the underside pics show what looks like a 914/4 crossbar and a deep sump from a type 4? The early 911 aluminum cases don't look like that. Yeah, I scratched my head on that as well and have stared at the pictures for a while and still can't figure it out. It looks to me like they put the rubber cover from a BUB over the front bumper. I think I see the rubber top of the '74 bumper peeking out in the corners. Hey, you're right. You can definitely see the early bumper under the edges. The sheet metal screw holding it on is kind of a give away too. Are those aluminum 911S calipers up front? And it looks like Koni red on the rear shocks. Looks like a 911 trombone style oil cooler over the tail housing of the transmission. Wish I lived in the L.A. area. This would be an interesting one to pursue in person. |

The DeTomoso Pantera called. It wants its center console back.

I'm guessing the engine is a mongrel. If the case matches an early S, it'll be worth something regardless, even more if it turns out to be aluminum. If the MFI is complete, that is worth $$ by itself.
