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=Dead Air,Feb 25 2006, 06:52 PM] [QUOTE=grantsfo,Feb 25 2006, 08:46 AM] Jake, you still havent answered the original question. What hacking are you refering to with a six conversion? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE] Jake didn't say Hack, I did! Putting a Porsche 6 in isn't a hack job, IMHO. I'm not talking the racers here either... Dropping a non Porsche motor is. Even though it may be very well done, a Subaru motor in a 914 is a toyota MR2. Just buy an MR2 and be done with it. I'm of the generation that would never consider putting a Chevy SB in a '67 Mustang. It might go like crazy but it just isn't right. The car IS the motor... [/QUOTE] No you both said hack. Here is his quote: "I think more people here should buy a Fiero... But all the cars getting hacked up, make the cars that are not- worth more money everyday. One day that will matter and the guys who were the smart ones will be on top." |
