porsche 6, or 914 4, engine choice Options

[ModPR3]

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.

QUOTE in fact the more I think about it the 914's I see sporting Raby engines seem to be bigger hack jobs than many of the well done 6 conversions Well..I don't do installations, nor do I work on vehicles... I provide an engine that is ready to be BOLTED into the car, what happens after that is out of my control. Nothing needs to be cut, or welded, or fabbed at all. Which cars have you personally seen that had my engines installed? Keep in mind that not every car that is advertised or "Said" to have my engine has it- only those with serial numbers that match my records do and there are aalot of imposters out there! Most people that spend the money to buy my engine do very detailed installs.

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.
