i want to replace the engine in my 914 and am confussed by my choices. i thought of the subaru or chevy v8 conversion and i dont think thats for me. im looking at a rebuilt 2.4 6 conversion from motor meister or a built 4 motor of equal hp, which is 170 hp. jake at aircooledtechnology seems to be very busy so i was wondering if any of you knew how much a 914 type 4 motor would cost to build at that hp level.

Hang on Hang on... all you sixer fans.
You guys are throwing around the "6" pricing really liberally but you are squaring off on Jake's pricing pretty closely. 4K, 6K, 10K - on a 6. OK but there are alot of options in there too. IIRC Jake's bottom end (2056?) kit goes for like 3K? Then up to about 5K for the middle of the road. Where's the huge difference (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) . Either will need "extras". So you buy a used 6 - what happens when it takes a crap on you two months down the road. Same boat. You buy a kit from Jake and do it correctly, you gotta brand new engine with all the reliability etc. I'm just not buying into the 6 arguement. It just seems to much like a penis extension.
