Hello all - I'm brand new to this forum with my first post! I've got other Porsches but just purchased my first 914. I picked up a 1970 with a 1.8 motor with dual weber 40 IDF Carbs.
I've been researching motors and see that the 2270 is a very popular upgrade. I love everything I've read about it - thinking about the kit from the type 4 store. So what work would need to happen to the 1.8 in order to make this happen? Will the Weber 40s work for induction or will this build require 44s? Are there other tried and true builds that could be put together from known parts for less money? I'm just trying to figure out the best way to build a cost effective motor that will make the car go and last.... Love to hear opinions, Alex |
