I am doing a long-term rebuild on m 914 after the bus gets running....
what I was thinking was aircooled options--the type4 and the 911.... but somebody who owns a shop ( and a buddy of mine) recommended the VR6--it's a VW engine..... I'm seriosuly thinking about the VR6 too.... |

I think a VR6 in the 914 would be a really sweet combination but you would have to cut the rear firewall and fabricate an engine cradle and motor mounts etc. The VR6 I bought to try to do this swap came from a '97 Passat (OBD II) and has 172 hp but you can swap in an aftermarket chip to make another 10 whp or so. There are also turbo kits available for the VR6 if 180 hp isn't enough for you. |
