I can get my hands on this engine very reasonably would it be a good choice for a 914 swap or would a 3.0 or a 3.2 be a better bet?

in the long run you will be better off with the 3.0 or 3.2..the 3.2 with motrinic efi would be best...the 2.7 does not have all the up-dates a 3.0 has such as aluminum case, some have nick-seal cylinders..ultimatly any flat six is good but most any old 2.7 is going to need rebuilding and thats going to cost 10k to do it right and thats just for the parts....the newer the better plus a 3.2 will give you 250+hp. and around 200 for the 3.0...do you have any history on the engine? and whats the price your paying?i would not pay more than $1500 for a mystery 2.7..
