Doing the SC 3.0 swap... Do I sell my stock 2.0?
 
I'm debating on keeping the stock matching 73 2.0 engine for the sake of keeping the original engine to go with the car if/when ever I sell the car.

I'm doing a SC 3.0 6 swap and honestly, as nice as the car is, its not a collector quality, all original car anyway. It'll have all 911 suspension and brakes (currently just a 5 lug hub conversion and 320i front calipers). It's been repainted in the original Silver Metallic. There was/is some rust repair in the hell hole and randomly other places. It's pretty nice but I think its destiny is to stay an outlaw 914.

So... should I just sell the stock carb'd 2.0? I even have a second 2.0 engine from a 74 sitting on a dolly thats not doing anything but taking up space.

I think the guys over at 914World helped me make up my mind. The original carb'd 2.0 will be for sale. Pics for indulgence...

Don't ever look back.

Once you have a six installed, you'll never go back to the -4. Sell it.

Gorgeous car, love the look.

I did the same swap and sold the 2.0 which helped defray a fraction of the overall cost. The 3 ltr was a massive improvement. You will love it.
