Like Rich says, the best investment is in the driver, and next is in road contact. A $2500 budget would not really cover a stock engine rebuild. For a type 4 engine talk to Jake Raby. You also have to consider any rules you may have to play by. For example, look at the thread for the "newest PCA member". Using a Porsche engine of some type allows you to play with PCA. In other venues, there may be some limitations you will have to abide by so do some research on your playground of choice. FWIW, a relatively original 914 will be a bit of a rarity in the future, so I would consider long term value of the finished car as well.
