As some of you know, I am going back and forth on putting in a 2.4l six or swapping a Subaru Ej25. I want to know what impact the Subaru engine will have on racing the car. I am specifically wondering how the PCA (and RMR since I am in Colorado) treats 914's with non-Porsche engine swaps in them. I want to be able to run my car at club events. I know there won't be a problem in SCCA racing. But I don't know about the "official" Porsche clubs...

i believe the policy is that you will not be allowed to race in pca club races unless your car has a porsche motor. if you put a -6 in your car, you will be put in a racing class designated for the improvements you made to your car. your improvements could very well put you in a class of very serious ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) racers and you may not be competitive, if that makes any difference to you. stock 2.0L 914's race in class J if i remember correctly. i have a car (but i don't race (yet)) that is a 2.0 w/webers and 911 suspension that is class I. you could probably get onto the pca website and find racing rules w/classes and modifications spelled out.
