I have a line on a great 914, but...
The good: 1) Its a 914 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) 2) strong battery box and longitudinals 3) 5 bolt wheels 4) SC front brakes 5) 914-6 rear calipers 6) bolt in cage 7) Good paint with GT style flares 8) Matched Konig seats The Bad: Car had a 2.4 drysump 4 that the current owner removed and put in his other 914. Now the car has no motor. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) I think I would prefer a nice type iv - anywhere from 2.0-2.4 liters. Who/where are the shops/people that build "quality" motors. Not looking for a grenade here. Ideally would want b/w 120-140 hp. IT would be for a car that would be driven to/from Driver's ed events and autocrosses. Also, any quide on prices would be nice. The last type iv I had built was almost 10 years ago. A great 2056! I know there are elements out there that would say "6" it. I think the money is too much for a 6 conversion. Plus I like the torque of a "big" four Located in the east, if that tilts any suggestions... |

You don't just "find" a motor at Jakes. You order one, pay twice the cost of the typical 914-4, and then wait a year. He does have great kits that you could start building yourself in short order.
The ideal 120-140hp engine previously requested would have to be a pretty potent 2056 or probably a 2270 to get to >140hp. It's not cheap any way you get there. |
