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.

I built a project car a few years ago that ultimately topped out at around $50k, and three years later sold for $20k less, and was still an awesome car. Granted this isn't a realistic budget for most of us, the point is you could probably find a real nice 6 conversion car, ready to rock, for $20k. And if you are patient and lucky you could probably find a good deal on a great car for $12k. Trekkor, what's my line here.........?????? Nothing against RAT at all. Jake is doing some very cool work. I'm just a 914'er that has always had an obsession with six cylinder engines. |
