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 love the 914, but i dont think there is anything wrong with improving on a great chassis. some times cars are just more fun with more power, some times cars are more fun all origional to be enjoyed like a fine piece of art. shelby made a fortune and now one of the most replicated cars known by taking a little sports car made by ac and dropping a american v8 and made a awesome car we know as the shelby cobra. i can see from all sides of everyone and most of you have good points. i just dont think anyone should say that there way is the only way it should be done. like the saying go whatever floats your boat. just my 2 cents. |
