Went to Barbourville yesterday. Think 914 stockpile. They have everything over there.....1.8 engines, teh camper-buses i *love*, BMW 2002s, and much more. Picked up the parts car with a title *YEA!*. EVerything looks great! I loved it. ANyway, I recieved a car with decent longs, no engine, an ACTUAL REAL LIFE battery tray(heh), a key and a passenger door handle. Looks great. I want to post pictures today but I don't have a camera, and my girlfriend will be pissed if i halt progress to take car pictures.....I'll get em'. Might pick up a 6 and tranny and make another 914 racer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Check you all later. I might just end up parting it out.....who knows?

okay you can go type 4 for 500 bucks ( maybe not a 2.0 )

or chevy for 2 to 4 grand depending on cooling and stuff ( RH radiator is a grand ) and you should upgrade the brakes for the car due to it gaining 200 to 300 lbs. plus a tranny, the stock one will be okay if your gental but the highway rpms will suck. or go 915 tranny for 3 to 7 grand.

or you have the 911 six option which can be 6 to 12 grand depending on deals found ( can we say trekkor ) and for the bigger sixes you get in to tranny and brakes again. but the tranny ratios will not be the best

or my favorite the suby option, a suby 2.2 130 hp on a stock tranny, installed for about 2 grand. then the brakes and tranny can handle the weight ( basicly the same ) and speed ( slightly faster top end, better accell ). or for another 500 you can get a 2.5 170 hp.

now for tranny you can buy a tranny for 200 to 1000 bucks and never realy know if it is okay ( better chance for 1000 ) or you can get 2 cheap trannys and do a redbeard rebuild and have some faith in the tranny

now all the above engines, even a type 4 can destroy a tranny if you are not nice to it.

i would say go suby 2.2 for 2 k or so, plus tranny. and be able to drive 10000 miles with just oil changes and check ups
