Hello and good day, please don't beat me up, i'm only asking at this point because of some things I found in my searchings. Here is the back ground as I was told, and I'm wanting you to to tell me if this is feasable or run away.
-Engine was bought complete, had low oil pressure. Race engine -Engine completely stripped down for rebuild, crank and rods toast, needs new ones. -106 mm cylinders and rebuilt heads to match. The heads look brand new. -Fabulous looking duel webers. Unsure how big? Labor won't be an issue in cost, but can this be a street drivable engine or is it just too big and will not be reliable? Thanks, |

My 2432 is very streetable. Reach in turn the key and hear it idle streetable. I'd bet many stock 1.7, 1.8, 2.0 914's can't do that.
A couple of questions and a comment, first what kind of race engine? An autocross engine can make bunches of heat and that would be irrelevant because the 'race' is only 1 minute long. Second, what kind of cylinders? At 106mm I would want them to be Nickies. Lastly, "rods were toast" lights a caution light for me. Rods are not something that usually go in a TypeIV. Especially newly built TypeIV's. Pistons blow up due to detonation, cams self-destruct because of wrong oil... Something's wrong with this picture. I'd guess the rods were toast going in to the engine. Pretty sure if it's 'a bargain' it's because you're going to have to put $10,000 into it to make it run... |
