I'm new to the 914 World, so please forgive my ignorance. I had always thought the engines were the same between these two cars, but recently read something saying the 914-6 had the engine from a '69 T. It said that the block and pistons were different and generally implied that the 914-6's engine was more primitive. Can anyone help explain this further for me? Thanks, Bill

The biggest reason that 914-6's has sluggish sales is the fact they were base priced at only $500 less than the new 2.2 911T. .
