T4 frustration, Got me thinking conversion Options

[jeffdon]

I have been plagued by a series of issues over the last few years with getting my T4 running well. Some of it due to my screw ups, some just bad luck.

I keep thinking how nice it would be to have an engine that just starts and runs, and has more power. Subie maybe. But I sure like the couple of Honda V6 conversions I have seen.

Anyone here that has done a conversion and regretted it?

I have NOT done a conversion and have NEVER regretted it. I think doing something like a Honda V6 conversion would be much more difficult and require much more skill than getting a type IV running well.

And I do hate the thought of loosing the frunk.

I once pulled up to a jobsite in the teener that had a crew of Chinese dudes that spoke little english. They were out front on a smoke break, and really looking the 914 over. One asked me if it was an Alfa. Anyhow, I opened the rear trunk, pulling out tools. Then I opened the front, and did the same. THAT got them talking among themselves. The one that spoke a bit of English just had to ask where the engine was.
