1975 Porsche 914 with 2.7 liter 911S Motor

1975 Porsche 914/6. Chassis was completely restored five years ago. Motor and Transaxle totally rebuilt. Numerous upgrades made to auto. Motor- The motor was totally rebuilt during the restoration. New pistons and cylinders and bushings. Cylinder heads were rebuilt professionally by John Truman Racing of Ohio. The crankcase case was case-certed to avoid any chance of pulled cylinder head studs. The fuel injection system came from a 1976 Porsche 911S that was wrecked when it had been driven only 1600 miles. New fuel pump. rebuilt alternator with integral voltage regulator. Porsche 914/6 exhaust hear exchangers and muffler. New pressurized hydraulic chain tensioners were used. The original ignition system was replaced with an MSD breakerless ignition system including the following: MSD breakerless ignition module inside the distributor. MSDCD Ignition Control Unit. MSD Blaster ignition coil. Eleven blade cooling fan replaced the standard five blade fan. Motor is rated at 180 HP. Fuel distributor head was sent to BAE for flow testing and balancing. A Sears Die-Hard gel battery was installed. The engine lid was modified to incorporated a double grille. This was done to improve engine cooling. See the photo for details. Transaxle- The 5 speed transaxle was rebuilt last summer. The first. second and third gear synchros was replaced. the intermediate plate was replaced with a Porsche 911 plate to handle the 914/6 throttle pivot shaft. One bearing on the intermediate plate was replaced. The first gear slider was replaced. The plastic bushing on the side shifter console was replaced with a precision bronze bushing. The plastic/aluminum shifter universal joint was replaced with a precision needle bearing steel universal joint. This new U joint is enclosed within its own weatherproof rubber boot. Of course all oil seals and gaskets were replaced. Brakes- Brake system was upgraded in many ways. Porsche 911E front struts were installed in order to handle Porsche 911S "A" calipers. New vented front and rear 911 brake rotors. All metal brake lines and rubber hoses were replaced. The rear brake calipers are rebuilt and come from a Porsche 911S. Factory spacer shims added to the rear "M" calipers to accommodate the vented rotors. A machined spacer was added to the inside of the new rotors to align the rotor centerline to the caliper centerline. The factory brake proportioning valve is no longer needed with this setup and was eliminated. New factory rear stub axles were purchased in Germany to complete the five mounting bolt wheel conversion. The parking brake system is now the Porsche 911 type brake shoes within the brake rotor design. Suspension and Wheels- Koni front and rear struts. front and rear sway bars. The wheels are now five bolt Fuchs 5. 5 inch by 14 inch. Just like the factory 914/6. New springs were used in the rear to handle the added weight of the 6 cylinder motor. New ball joints. and turbo tie rods were installed. Chassis- The entire chassis was striped of every bolt on component in side and out. All paint and undercoating was removed and the chassis was media blasted. The outer rocker panels and jacking tubes were removed and replaced with new metal. The undercarriage spot welded seams were then MIG seam welded to stiffen the chassis. The sheet metal was replaced because the jacking post had weakened. The factory front motor mount was replaced with a Rich Johnson dual rubber donut 914/6 motor mount. The complete chassis inside and out was painted using epoxy primer and then hauled to the professional paint shop for final painting. The color is Porsche "Rasberry" a 1972 Porsche 911 color. I have only seen one other 914 painted in this color. The factory sound deadening pad was added to the inside of the engine bay and sound deadening Dynamats were added to the inside bottom surface of the removable roof and then covered with a high grade black cloth upholstery. Engine oil system- The 914/6 uses a dry sump lubrication system. A factory 914/6 oil tank was located and modified to include a functional oil level sender unit to the tank. A factory 914/6 oil cooler replaced the original 991 oil cooler. A remote front oil cooler and oil thermostat console was purchased for this car but never installed. The parts will come with the car. Electrical system upgrades- The battery cable and ground strap was upgraded to heavier gauge cables to eliminate voltage drops during starting. The relay panel located in the left side of the engine bay was no longer needed due to the integral voltage regulator. The relay board and its mount was eliminated. Porsche 911S instruments were installed in the car except for the clock. The oil pressure/oil temperature gauge is used in the left position. tachometer in the center position and a 150 mph speedometer in the right position. A combination oil level gauge and fuel level gauge is mounted under the dash but inside the optional factory console. All wiring modifications and other details of this restoration are documented in a notebook that comes with the car. Also laminated factory wiring diagrams for both the 914/4 and 914/6 are included. A CD player radio and upgraded speakers were installed but frankly who cares about the radio in this type of car. Factory fog lights were added. General Comments- The true mileage on this car is unknown. When this car was purchased. the speedo cable was broken and had been for many years. Later the speedometer/odometer was replaced during the restoration. The mileage indicated on the odometer is not the mileage on the chassis. This car has only been driven about 2000 miles since restoration. This is especially true of engine horsepower. and braking. Only a mature adult should consider purchasing this car. This car is not an original 914/6. It is a 1975 914/4 converted to a 914/6. From a performance perspective. it is better then the original 914/
