There has been all kinds of engine swaps into the Base 914s (Porsche Aircooled 6 cyls-2.0L 2.2L 2.4L 2.7L 3.0L 3.2L 3.6L) along with a large range of Subaru Conversions and LS1 engines, SBC, any other conversions, along with 2056 builds etc. I’m sure a lot of people besides myself would like to see some performance specs after these conversions were completed (0-60mph 0-100mph, 1/4 mile, roll on performance) along with transmission changes and estimated cost for conversion.
Example: Upgraded to 2056cc build (Fats Performance), 125-130hp, dual 40 carbs, cam etc., headers, stock 901 side shift trans. With Rennshift Shifter, 911 suspension conversion. 0-60 6.5 seconds. 1/4 mile about 90 mph. Cost for drivetrain including trans rebuilt approx $10,000.00 in 2015. |

I have owned a small block 355 iron block aluminum heads 914 a small block all aluminum piece of sh World motors 914, a v6 Honda 240hp 240tq J35a 914, and now following in Andrews footsteps and building a turbo exotic 914 300 to the wheels is my quest for the sweet spot of this chassis. But with all that said pound for pound bang for the buck nothing beats the LS. My cousin owned a machine shop and said the subi engine was a very good engine, but he also said the LS was one of GMs best. If I was trying to go for it again, LS3 with Boxster S gearbox. Game over.
