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.

Grant...
can't you concede that the 10K motor is at least brand new... This is the way I see it: ----------------------------- grant's conversion parts and motor = 6K rebuilding grants motor/carbs to be ALSO BRAND NEW = 8K grants total (in order to compare new to new) = 14K dude... I'm glad your doing a -6 I bet you love it.. but dang... I hope it doesn't go poof on you and let all the magic smoke out. Because you then have to learn that neither type is cheap and each type can make the owner very happy. |
