I'm brand new to the forum as I have an opportunity to buy a 1976 914 2.0. The seller is vague on questions due to health problems. He's telling me he spent $7000 on engine mods. Claims it's 3.0 now and possibly 275-300 hp! Is this even possible? From the pics, which are terrible, it looks like 2bbl carbs and a blue circle shaped airbox in between. Not much to go on and he won't answer questions. Help!!

I'd tell the seller to bring it to a dyno. All it needs is a can of fuel and a couple of wires for this test. If it makes advertised HP , RPM and survives another 20 miles at 40 MPH on the rollers ( with minimal or no load as not to overheat the dyno ) call "sold" for asking price + dyno fee.
If it does not make HP , RPM or blows up, the car is given to buyer, for free. |
