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.

You did say most of his engines so don't take this as an attack. However, I don't have a cooler, I do run a header and I do run FI with most of the stock parts. I have all of the stuff I need to put the old #'s matching engine with D-jet back in the car in a weekend. In that respect, my install and choice of engines is kind of unusual. That can't be done with a six conversion. The other thing I considered was I wanted to assemble this engine with my son and it was my 1st engine build. Jake offered a kit and did all of the planning. I got a really special time with my son. My situation was unique so my solution to the /6 vs /4 question is also unique. Most people probably won't consider either of these points very important but, they led me to a hipo /4 and I'm happy with what I have. Dave |
