The current owner of this 1973 Porsche 914 has owned it twice. The first time was when he was in high school and it was powered by the original 2.0 L flat-four. He sold it and then several years later purchased it back without the engine. The second time around he installed a 2.5 L flat-six with a twin plug ignition system originally built for his racing 911 that made 220 horsepower to the wheels. The engine was paired that with a close-ratio manual transmission and late-model Carrera front suspension.

Hi there, I have just rebuilt a 1972 Porsche 914 (2.1l) and am very happy with the result.
I am interested in replacing the flat 4 with a flat 6 Porsche engine.
Could you give me any information regarding this change, how difficult, modifications required etc? if you could provide some literature or aim me in the correct direction I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Dave Jones.
