Has anyone here built a 914 Type 4 using the LN Engineering 2563-190 kit?

In the long term, how long will a Porsche 6 last compared with the Type 4?
Originally, I wanted to do a 2.7MFI 6. Collected the parts, 7R, 915, then Priced the MFI set up and choked. Decided then and there what might be More fun for me. Using the highest quality parts will yield the longest life. Not going overboard on too much cam, too much carburatiopn, and too Compression will make for a long lasting engine. |

I believe that the LE-200 heads accommodate the problematic conditions that you have pointed out. I will make LN aware of these concerns and report back on their response. |
