Here it is.
Make a choice, and then tell us all why you say so.

Argue somewhere else. Make your point and move on, please.


Thanks 914club! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Of course I voted Big Four.

Without a doubt run a 2270 or a 2316. The 2270 is good for no less than 145HP, and the 2316 is good for no less than 175HP.

When you go bigger than these two engines, the only way to reliably do it is with a set of Nickies, then the build becomes a Superhero and is no longer affordable.

I am really tired of the whole thing with which is the best way to go......... I gave up on the 914 market a long time ago, and now if I sell one for a 914 I consider it a freak thing. I have a buyer for the plans to 9 of my 914 engine combos and if things keep up I'll be selling them at the first of the year. The buyer is in Europe, where conversions are more trouble than they are worth, literally.
