2,2T, Is this a good choice Options

[DavidSweden]

I have the chance to buy a 2,2T motor.

Is this a good motor for a 914 6 conversion? Its not cheap so I want to be sure that its not wasted money. There is also a 2,4 available and its a bit cheaper. Advice required

I also have a 2.4L-T in my 914. It has been a great engine for me.

I bought my '73 914 in 1986, shortly after getting a chance to drive one. I was hooked right away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I converted the 914 into a /6 in 1988 with a 1973 CIS fuel injected 911-T 2.4 liter engine,
911 Carrera front suspension & brakes, 911SC rear brakes, etc.

The engine had ~90K miles on it when I bought it and swapped it in.
The same engine is still in my 914, running strong 28 years later.
I have put approximately 210K miles on the engine and car since the /6 conversion.

It is a blast to drive on the local twisties and is very reliable. Hop in, turn the key, Neet VROOOM !
( if the engine is cold, Neet Neet VROOOM ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
I drive it all the time, to work etc., whenever there is no rain in the forecast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
It keeps up with traffic no problem.

Will this engine continue to perform for another 28 years like it has? Not likely LOL !
But I am torn about what to do when the 2.4L-T engine finally calls 'uncle'.
I could rebuild it as a 2.7L engine, or I could go the 3.2L route at roughly the same cost.
It will be an expensive decision to make either way.
