I am doing a complete restoration and six conversion. I was wondering what are the advantages of the 911 front end compared to the 914, of course with 911 struts you can get bigger brakes.

I think bigger brakes is about it. There is a 911 cast alluminum cross member, highly overated, I think.

To add to Phil's list...

Torsion bars are different; different T-bar caps; 5-bolt hubs; wider selection of rotors (4 v. 5 bolt) depending on calipers;; later 911 suspensions have a sway mount that uses the rack rather then a "through the body" mount.. With all that - comes a wider selection of after-market and Porsche parts/wheel(s) availability...

is there any difference in weight? I was looking to go to 911 struts to get bigger brakes, used carrera struts for $350. the guy I talked to told me that they sell the whole carrera suspension including rotors and brakes for $700 double the price, but it seems reasonable considering the brakes.
