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.

ok guys thanks for the advice youve been a great help. i think im going to go with the 6 so im going to start my researching. so i now know i want the 6 now which one. i was thinking the 2.4, 2.7, or 3.0 with the 3.0 most likely tapping me out of all my savings and future income for awhile. any advice on the differences of these engines regarding: avalability, price, finding parts, and expense would be great. im going to run alot more searches but any added info would be great. i ran some searches on motormeister and im definitley not going with them even if only half i read was true. im going to post on an older post i found and bring it back up regarding reputable rebuilders in my area which is southern ca. thanks again for the help
