I have renewed my interest in my 914s recently... But i have been peeking on the bird board...the prices on flat six motors is off the charts...30000 for 3.2...9500 for a core 3.0
really?? Where did the 2500 buck 3.0 cores go or 4000 complete 2.4s? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) one day i will be looking for a 3.0 core |

I was upset that my 3.2 needs a top-end rebuild after paying $5500 for it. Then, I was having breakfast with Eric Shea as he passed through town a bit ago and he pointed out that 3.2's are going for $12 -$15K now. Gives me some room... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) This is one of the reasons I am going to go with a bigger 4 (2.3). I mean, my mechanic told me that for everything you need to do to convert over to a 6 now, it pretty much would START around 30K |

Best bang for the buck is a Original Customs 2056 with FI, a 2270 is also super nice for the money. Hind-sight would have made that a better option for me, but once I had the /6 mount and oil tank holes cut there was/is no turning back. Just try not to think too much about the money being spent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Just try not to think too much about the money being spent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) A 2270 is cheaper, but you're limited to about 150hp, done right I'd say $6K in parts, 2.7 with nickies 180hp with a quality exhaust and carbs $12K+ in parts alone. Add FI and the price just went up again. Stroker cranks for the T4 are a questionable factor, good welded cranks aren't as good as they used to be and the chinese cranks I consider disposable after about 40k miles. |
