914 to 914-6: High Treason?, Should I convert my mint 2.0? Options

[Technicolored Horrors]

Hello everyone. I am the proud second owner of a '76 914 2.0. It has been in the custody of my Dad and me since 1987. It is close to mint condition. It has 57,000 original miles. I replaced the goofy gigantic steering wheel and the wheels - other than that it is all original. The paint is near perfect, there is no rust and there are no known mechanical issues.

My first world problem is this: I have always wanted a 6. I want more off-the-line speed. I want that perfect sleeper. Given how few nearly-perfect 914 specimens there are out there, is it dumb/treasonous for me to consider converting my 2.0 to a 6? If it is not, can any of you give me a ballpark of what such a conversion, done correctly, would cost? Thank you for your opinions.

Doesn't make sence to date blondes if you really like brunettes.
Do the six if that's where your head is.
If you want a really nice conversion, set aside $20K+
That's just for parts. Find someone who knows how to do the conversion.
Plan it all out, order what you need and get it done so your driving next summer.
Jake Raby charges $20k for his 4 cylinder engines, so no savings there, just a different path.
