Hi
Im new to forums. Hopefully I do this one right I acquired a 1970 914 1.7 FI from a good friend that passed away last year. Its a bit rough! It sat from 2005, some of the time was in a garage and the rest outside. Looking to have the motor rebuilt and wanted to hear from others on where to go. I prefer to stay in California but would consider outside of California Id like to have 170-180 HP, and it be a turnkey motor Thanks Joe |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'd add European Motor Works to you list of possible candidates.
My friend Richard (Type 4 Unleashed) assembled my 2056 at EMW while I was recuperating from some surgeries. I already had some parts (case, crank, KB pistons, a Raby cam, and heads), had EMW perform the machine work (drill & tap the oil galleys, polish the crank, valve guides, seats,) and I purchased the remaining parts from them as well (SS valves, rods, chromoly push rods, 911 swivel foot adjusters, oil pump, gaskets, etc.). It was several years ago but that build was right around $4k all totaled up. Richard and I are currently building a 1.9L for one of my other cars right now ... I haven't totaled the receipts yet, but I'm sure it will be quite affordable. ... and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
