Really liking my 1975 914/4 with 96 P&C's, Elgin cam and twin Weber 40 IDF's. Torquey, simple and just fun
My /6 conversion is being a PITA looking back I probably should have kept the $25.k or so and invested in Tesla |

Curious what six conversion are you doing? I had a 2.4 four and it sucked a valve before 10k miles, fixed that and then something went wrong with one of the piston rings during the next 10k miles. I replaced it with a 2.7 six with webers, headers, etc. night and day difference. With the rev limiter, I couldn’t kill this engine. More power, better sounding and way more reliable. Easy conversion.. back date flywheel to 2.0 flywheel and your half way there.
