Hey guys! I'm sure this has been hashed out a million times here, but i was just wondering how it feels to have a powerful 914-6. I own a totaled 2.0 and it's stock. Wrecked it right after high school. (good tires are important!!!) Interesting enough-my friend owned a 1998 454 suburban and my 914 was exactly as fast as it all the way to 98 mph when the suburban's governor kicked in. Here's my question-how fast is a regular 914-6? What car (speed wise) does it compare to? I understand all 914-6's will be different-but i would like to know about yours. Let me know your thoughts!

Rusty, its seems Roots biggest savings in the motor cost ie: $1000 2.2 vs a $4500 3.2.
$4500 3.2 +4500 in conversion parts $9000 Total in parts $1000 labor $10,000 total cost based on Brad R's rule of thumb conversion guide Rootwerks costing $1000 2.2 motor $4500 conversion parts $5500 in parts $0 labor by himself $5500 total cost I don't get to excited by a 130hp six myself but a 3.2 250hp six is another story. I know where to pick up a $500 2.4 with carbs but I can't justify the rest of the money for that motor. Geoff |
