914 Monster In The Making
I know it's been done before, but figured you guys would like to see some pics I took of my neighbor's "little project". He's stuffing a 3.6L Carrera engine into his 914. He's quite the expert, fabricating his own parts and whatnot. Enjoy.

Boy, talk about a shoe horn job! That fan does not have a lot of intake clearance.
So he is attacking this project because it is more fun than just buying a 914-6?

A far cry from the 3.6L 993 motor that guy is putting in...

But if he bought the 914-6, then installed a 3.6........................
Kinda like installing a turbo on a 944na, when you get soooo much more with a 951.

Same goes for the 914-6 vs 914-4 IMO....

Guys, it is a 914-6. He rebuilt the original engine and acquired the 3.6 years later. Clearance is tight, but it's amazing just how much room is back there. I'll never complain about doing a tune-up on our cars ever again. That engine has twin distributors and 12 plugs. Access looks very difficult with it in the car, then again when you can drop the engine in about an hour and change by yourself....
