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.... |

A Porsche 6 fits in there very well, almost like it was made for that.
It doesn't need any brass water fittings from the local hardware store, any custom soon to break aluminum plates to mount the alternator, you can get parts for it, and they're available with almost any amount of horsepower that you can afford. Or you can chop up another 914, try to keep a prototype running, and take a list to the FLAPS of what kinds of cars all these weird parts are from whenever something breaks. Oh, and good luck with the heater, if you scab something weird in there. |
