Hi Folks,

I have a 1970 914-6 that I will be restoring soon. It's a really nice car, straight body, and has never been wrecked. The 2.0 motor is long gone. Presently its got a 2.4 liter 911 E motor that hasn't run in decades though I was able to get the engine to fire about 6 months ago. My plan is to put a 3.2 liter Carrera motor in the car. I am looking for recommendations on whether its worth it to go twin plug, swap the EFI for carbs, or even PMO throttle bodies. I am keeping the 901 tranny and am aware that I will need to get a converted flywheel to mate the tranny and bigger motor.

Just a thought but why not rebuild the 2.4?? They can pretty easily make 190+ HP and make a pretty quick and very entertaining street motor.

I personally prefer the character of carbureted or MFI induction over the more "domesticated" later MAF based induction. One throttle plate pEr cylinder really lets out the "zing" that made these motors legendary. All personal preference of course.
