Need some advice, Six conversion Options

[RonnieJ]

Hello to all. I purchased a 75 Bumble Bee and want to convert it to a six. I spoke with Motor Miester on their 2.0 six's and wanted to know if anyone has dealt with them or if you have any other recomendations. I am new to the 914 community, but I do know I want to make this one a six ,she's very solid and looks great too.
(Can you tell I'm a proud papa).

So,ya wanna six eh!
First there is no such thing as a cheap conversion.
You'll find most people here will agree it'll be at least 5-10 large to get it rolling.That means,if ya paid 3-4000 for your car already,you'll have 12-15,000 in it when complete.Then, your car will be just a conversion.You can already buy a 2.0l 6r in that price range,and you'll have the real deal,and no hassle about making everything work.
The conversion only begins to make some,financial sense if you opt for a bigger motor w/ more hp's.
More hp's mean more money.More work,more effort.
Most guys probably put 15k in there cars,a few grand here and there at a time.Moving up to 3.0l plus engines to get a really good seat of the pants feeling car.Then you'll be havin fun.
I'm 12-14k and 5yrs. into my 6r.All I have to show so far is a nice looking restoration garage queen.Patience is the key word for doing all this work,I'm finally lookin at the light at the end of the tunnel.
You can have it to but think out the process entirely about what ya want before ya spend any bucks.Then have the patience to see it thru.
