I'm not sure that I will ever finish this car... But I hope to.
Just would like to start a dialogue about these options for the car. Having worked on all of them now... I have my own opinions but would like to know everyone else's. Thomas |

Growing up I've always been into both chevy v8s and porsches. With that said I always wanted to stuff a v8 into my 914. Well my uncle beat me to it and shoved a tired 2.7 six in before I had the chance with a v8. Fast forward 15 years later and I have a cammed/carbed 3.2 that I absolutely love in my car. It feels very balanced for the 914, with running on r compound tires I can get on it and the car takes off. The six also adds alot of value to the car. Seems like the toughest part though is finding or building a good six engine (especially these days).
But saying all that if I were to start over I would consider an LSx or a WRX motor. I think the best thing is to see if you can get a ride in one and consider what you would like to have in your car. What do you want when you step on the peddle? A loud v8 with instant torq that is going to smoke the tires off the rims? or a turbo 4 where you can feel the boost spool up and blast you forward? From what I've read in other posts it sounds like any conversion is going to come with a pretty penny, even the WRX swap seems to add up to 10k+? |
