New 914 owner looking to Build HP, New owner of a 914, looking to get a parts list going for an engine build Options

[BimmermanJp]

Hi everyone! I'm proud to say that I will taking delivery of a good looking 914 this upcoming month and have been doing some research on getting more Hp out of the Type 4.
My 914 has a 1.7 so I'm looking to do a stroker to get around 150-180ish HP and I'd probably go with dual Carbs vs FI
I would love some advice on stroker kits/ cams and lifter suggestions to make this possible. I've seen Rabys kit, AA kits etc..., but I'm looking to do the build myself and send the case and heads to get machined. This would be my first engine build so I'm getting excited. I do have Shop experience working as a service tech.
Any tips and advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Contact European motor Werks in California.
EMW for short.

They have the parts you want.
They have good advice.
They have a machine shop.

DRD makes the crankshafts.

type4store (Len Hoffman) heads are the only way you can get that kind of decent HP

Tangering racing (chris foley) for the tuned header which you will need if you want to make decent HP.

A common stroked setup makes a 2270, a motor Jake really likes.
A common big bore is using the 71 mm crank and 103 Pistons and cylinders.

You can also buy a built motor from FAT performance and others....no personal experience with that.

Elgin Camshafts, buy camshaft, gear and lifters from the same source, and go with a professional camshaft shop like Elgin to get a quality part.....versus a reseller of other people's Camshafts...Elgin will take care of you.
There are others as well that do a great job.

You will want a carbbed camshaft to produce the power you are seeking.
You need to make sure the heads breath and flow properly (Len)
His heads are tested, then replicated using CNc, so they are a lot more consistent then manually porting a head.

Ignition will be another thing you will want to upgrade to see that kind of performance.
Multi spark is a good choice and McMark (here) makes a trigger wheel setup that fits on the stock engine with stock cooling tin.

You will need a front mounted oil cooler, lots of good thread here on various setups for that.

There is a racing forum here that may have more information on the hot setups for Camshafts, timing, ignition, heads, headers etc.

Lastly, I would suggest you hunt down a core case and start with that.
Pull your stock motor and pickle it on the shelf. It may be valuable to the next buyer of your car.
