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.

How much cutting and welding constitutes a "hack"? Lets not pretend there is none in converting to a /6. Every conversion I have seen has also had stiffening kits added in. And lets not pretend the conversion is not rife with expensive parts: oil tank, filler neck, associated plumbing, exhaust, throttle linkage,engine tin, motor mounts. I admire a well done conversion but I damn well know it aint a cheap proposition.
