I dragged the '76 2.0 out of the garage the other day as my 15 year old has suddenly become a historian on Porsche 914s (he found my book "Excellence was Expected"). The topic of what car he wants has come up pretty regularly.

I'm not chopping up my '76 as it is still dead stock and complete but we've been looking through the ads for a father son project in another 914. Repowering has come up in conversation also.

I found this Dodge 2.5L Minivan engine for sale near Seattle for $400. We are not quite ready to start into a project, but I thought I'd share it to other 914 guys.

This engine swap could be fun as these turbo 4's are legendary for their durability and abiliity to stand up to stuipid boost.

Good luck..

Searches on this forum don't help. Was that 2.2 turbo posted here?

$400 for a complete engine/CPU/Turbo and manifolds is not a bad start, even if they are all core.

If I'm lucky, this week we'll close on a house on 3 acres with a ridiculously big barn with upstairs office (3200 square feet). Been a dream of a lifetime and I'm already planning on how to fill it up with car and boat crap!
