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.

This discussion always cracks me up. The car was designed for both engines. We have a choice and there isn't a wrong answer.
I stayed with a four cause that's the way the car came. I kept the numbers matching engine and I can have it back in in a weekend. That seemed like the right thing for me to do but if I hadn't had that motor I might have decided on a 6 conversion. In a perfect world I'd have 1 of each but, a six would cost me a wife and that's an easy choice. By the way, the engine kit I got from Jake makes the car, the car it should have been from the factory. It's easy to drive around town and plenty quick. Dave |
