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.

Any MASSIVE four install is going to be far from stock. People installing your engines are typlically running carbs from the pictures on this site. That means they are hacking out the stock fuel pump, hacking out all associated parts from the stock fuel injection, based on your reccomendations people are putting headers on these engines and hacking out the stock heat exchanges, most Raby installs I have seen have required oil coolers to be hacked into the car, etc. Hack hack hack.
