Would one of the newer engines fit in a 914? Are they the same basic block or is everything different?

I would not do it. You would need an engine and a boxster transmission to make it work. If you look online, the boxster engines are really hard to find because they are failing and all the boxster drivers want them. Plus you have to deal with the computer control issues and the addition of a radiator and the plumbing... all for an engine that develops about the same HP as the air cooled engines.
If you want to put in a water cooled flat six, use the subaru engine. More reliable and cheaper. |
