looking for an engine Options

[Gearren]

I have a 73 2.0 and it is getting near the time for a engine rebuild, but instead of rebuilding the old 4, I am thinking about getting a small six, like a 2.0, from a late 60's 911. Does any one have one around in good shape or know where I can get one for a good price?

Would I notice a big difference from 95hp stock to aroud 140hp with a 2.0 six, or do I need to get aroud 200hp to see a big difference?

2,0 911T is 110HP -- the original 914.6 level. the 911E had 140HP and the 911S 170 -- but those were MFI engines, and the 911S was very peaky, max power at 6800 rpm, fully 1000 rpm higher than the 911T, and not a lot of grunt down low (where most street driving occurs).

the big difference with the bigger engines is not so much the higher HP numbers, but the increased low-end torque that made the engines much more driveable, tractable, and flexible.
