I'm going to be putting my green 914 for sale again shortly, so I put together some short videos. I liked this one:

Almost stock 2.0 but with E cams. It really has no problem spinning to ~7,200. And aok with the engine builder (European Motorsports).

Always like the sound of the short stroke sixes. Looks like fun!

I traded a 76 turbo engine I had for a pair of 2.4 MFI motors. Before trading it off, I considered building the 2.8 short stroke motor listed above. I decided I wanted a motronic motor eventually. So I made the trade.

What kind of money does an engine like that one run? Both kidneys and a piece of your liver?

Posted by: Root_Werks Feb 26 2020, 12:41 PM

Jeff (sixnotfour) built a 2.5 for me many moons ago. Loved that engine. De-stroked 2.7.

I think a basic rebuild from any of the top builders runs $20-25K
Hot rods like the one Clay posted are more like $50+

Our shop recently built a 3.4 with 300 rear wheel HP so that's like 360 at the crank. It's for a street car that gets driven regularly. They are getting help from an ex Andial employee who knows how to build these kind of engines. It's a lot more than just assembling expensive parts.

Dropping that hammer with one hand holding a phone and the other doing the shifting Clearly it tracks super straight!

I like how the follow up video is "Porsche 914 spanks 911"

GLWTS, there's not a lot out there and quality cars seem to be few and far between!

That 2.0 was rebuilt in 2014 by European Motorsports and was about $19k all in. It was actually a bit more expensive to keep it as a 2.0 rather than going to a 2.2 or 2.4, but since its an original six I wanted to keep it almost entirely stock. Cams and later chain tensioners being the other exceptions.

Steve's car is beautiful and we all know it runs like it looks. Anyone who buys his Six will not regret it. GLWTS.

I got verbally slapped by Betty for suggesting we put 2.2 S pistons, cylinders and cams in Elwood.

But I deserved it. We agreed that car would be made as completely stock as possible.


Your car sounds really good. Hope the new owner enjoys it.
