Okay I have come to a point where I am in a delima. I have a '73 2.0 car with the appearance group package that has had all 911 suspension upgrades and I will also be adding GT flares. I was originally going to put a 2.8 IV in it with about 225 horses but now am considering a subie engine putting out about 325 horses or more. I have always been a purist but there is something to be said for smoking the competion through the curves and also being able to dust the muscle cars down the highways. I can get into the 2.8 for around 7000.00 for motor and tranny minus installation. I can get into the subie for about 4800.00 minus installation.
What are the thoughts and opinions out there along with the pros and cons for each. All input would be greatly appreciated. Donald (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Seems to me if you plan on doing any racing, a Raby motor is the absolute best choice because of classes and such. Also the ease of installation would be a big factor to consider.
If you want better daily driver driveability, the Subie motor is a real good choice (IMNSHO the Subie motor makes a V8 conversion obsolete unless you're trying to build something like a 500hp+ supercar out of a 914). If you want "authenticity" and have the money, a 911 motor is still the best way to go. Only thing not to like about the Raby is the price (but I suspect you get what you pay for). |
