We just got it home yesterday and it on the lift. It's a 74 2.0 with a Chalon kit. Got it in a trade so gonna make a DD out of it. Needs different things. Two barrel has to go for a set of duals. It was missing the left rear brake caliper. Of course it will need a battery and both door handles need work. I have made MONSTER HP with a type one motor. Dabbled with a few type fours. My first 914 though. Think I'll leave this motor stock and drive it. Gonna make a neat car. 1980s stripes and wheels gotta go though. LOL !!

If the engine is still in it's stock configuration you might want to consider going back to FI. It will make for a better DD, IMHO.

Keep the carbs. FI is for wimps.

That's an acronym for "Wise investment, makes perfect sense." But then again what do you expect from a freight pilot.

Don't listen to the wise guys. Duel carbs will work but F.I. is best with the stock cam. The profile is designed for injection.

Dude, the 1980s are super cool right now. Get some Ray Bans and own it.

Only thing that would make that car any cooler is a spoiler fabbed out of krink stocks
