I have been working my tail off and saving money to build my 2litre motor this summer, so far i have saved $2500, If should have another $1500 in a month or so. However, I have been seeing 2.7-6 and 2.4-6 on ebay, the recycler and other places from $850.00 - $4000.

My question is - is it worth upgrading to a 2 litre from my 1.7, when a couple of thousand dollars more, i could get a six? And what is involved (price wise) to convert it from a 4 to a six.

Give me some feedback -

F..k the hand throttle

I have a warm 3.2 in my 914.
It has a re geared side shifter tranny

Mine has a NOS 914-6 oil tank

If you get your webers and your ignition dialed in, it starts and runs first try (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
