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 absolutely agree.... Making a car into something it never was by drastic measures is not too smart to me either. I own and drive a 914 for the same reason I do the same with my 912, all of my VWs and my Pinzgauer. I think more people here should buy a Fiero... But all the cars getting hacked up, make the cars that are not- worth more money everyday. One day that will matter and the guys who were the smart ones will be on top. A good example is a 1954 Chevy Pick up that my dad bought new in 1954.... The truck remained (and still does) 100% stock all through the 60's and 70's when the big rage was dropping a set of Crager wheels and a small block V8 into the truck. His little truck was worth nothing then, but now he gets insane offers for it as it jujst sits in the yard 100% stock because all the hackers ruined the other trucks! |
