brian in buddina Posted 21March, 2022 Report Share Posted 21March, 2022 New addition to the fleet. Decided on sticking with a Guards red theme. Yes its a project. 1971 Hasn’t been run in 20 years. “It ran when it was parked…”🥺 911E 2.7 motor, converted to RHD.

crsedge Posted 21March, 2022 Report Share Posted 21March, 2022 Welcome to the land of 914/6 ownership Re: your engine, if from a 911E then it would likely be anything from a 2.0 to a 2.4, unless it has bored out to a 2.7? Or is it an early G-series 2.7? Look forward to seeing you get it on the road 😎 brian in buddina and 3legs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 21March, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 21March, 2022 The last owner, who bought it already converted, said it came with a 911E motor of 2.7 litres. I am in the process now of dropping the motor/transaxle and will get the serial number to confirm. The previous owner stated the old style cam covers were replaced with the “turbo?” less leaky one. Also replaced were the chain tensioners to the more modern ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 22March, 2022 Report Share Posted 22March, 2022 Holy crap!! Awesome! Pic of the motor? We will tell you quickly whether you got an MFI or CIS. There was no such thing as a 2.7 911E. Either a 2-2.4 MFI 911E or a 912E with a 4 cyl kombi motor, or a 2.7 911 (or 911S). Or something completely different! Green shroud would indicate a 2.7 911 motor (along with CIS injection intake) Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 22March, 2022 Report Share Posted 22March, 2022 Ok we have a CIS 911 motor.. it’s wearing a orange/red shroud which points to a 3l not a 2.7. It’s got plastic fuel lines so pre-1980. Going by visual clues looks like a 78 SC motor - but that’s a wild guess as any of the parts can be swapped. What’s the number on top of the fan shroud? You also have oil fed tensioners (bonus!) … but your ignition leads don’t seem to have a coil ? Or maybe it’s mounted to the car somewhere. Stealing this photo from another forum.. green arrow = engine type red arrow = engine number with those two & fan shroud part number we can figure out what you’ve got Yeatesy and brian in buddina 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 22March, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 22March, 2022 Well this should clarify things silver fan blades Part number on top of shroud engine serial number engine model number; ⭐️6140502? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeatesy Posted 22March, 2022 Report Share Posted 22March, 2022 6140602 is a 2.7 from a 74 911 coupe, with chassis # between 911410001 & 9114104014 so it looks like it has had a paint job. brian in buddina and Mike D'Silva 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelrik911 Posted 23March, 2022 Report Share Posted 23March, 2022 Pull the cam covers off & look at the head studs. (Turbo cam covers & upgraded Tensioners means someone with a bit of old-school knowledge has played with it.) If some studs have pulled out of the block casing - it is a 2.7. If some studs have simply broken in two - it is a 3.0 . If everything is good, with none of the above; you have won the "911 engine Lottery" brian in buddina and Yeatesy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
