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.

I have to say, Trekkor has given this club biased perception of how *easy* a -6 conversion is.
He's lucky with his motor and it seem to run really well, and I'm happy for him. In fact, I'd love to have the same luck he has. But, reality is that not everyone will get lucky on an OLD -6 motor. It's a crapshoot. I'm installing a used 1.8L into my car to run Megasquirt on. It may run for a summer, it may run for 3 years. But, it was only $200.
