Hey guys, I've very new to this whole thing. I'm still trying to figure out what is exactly wrong with my 914 (starting and running issue). But whats the possibility or reliability of installing a v8 or v6....other than the immediate install cost. what do ya'll think.

LS1 power willl transform the 914 into something completely different, however you have to transfom the car; brakes, suspension, chassis reinforcement, cooling system, transaxle upgrade/alternate transaxle, electrical, and so on. It's a lot of work to get it done right, IMO.
I bought a new '73 2.0, so I'm familiar with the stock version. I've driven both a stock 914-6, as well as a 2.7 conversion car. I liked both those cars for good balance; they performed very nicely. Never driven a Subi powered car. Then of course my LS1 car, which is way different. Andys Attached thumbnail(s) |
