Who all have tales/tribulations about buying a nice motor?
Any reccomendations on places to look into? Im not interested in an off-the-shelf TIV, but a nicely built motor with some fire... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I have been looking for somthing from outside CA if possible.....fuck the government, I dont wanna give them any of my tax $$...! "justveedubs.com" seems like they might have something in store for me...any horror stories or better reccomendations? a bit of customization to their "2700cc TIV" might do the trick nicely.....mebbe "101.5" instead of those 104's though... woah....

[I know you are working for the high-end market, filling that price-point.....but do you have any inclination to offer a high-tech but slightly more budget minded engine option? IE. carbourated? that would knock off like 5K no?] -JD |

I dunno what everyone has been quoted by jake, but I heard $15,000 shipped.....that is a bit taxed I think.....albeit a AWESOME MOTOR....thats the price of a decent CIVIC!!
the big difference is between a kit and completly assembled by the man himself? hmmmmm I dont "build" motors unfortunately, I have a trusted friend/mechanic [ www.bugdoc.com ] that would do this FOR ME...so its still an option, even tho that Suby conversion looks SO NICE......it looses its "soul" @ that point....aircooled is the whole point.....am I crazy for that? also /6's ARE Porsche but , just doesnt seem right....im a convert from VW's remember, Buying a 914 was just like a "fancy/sporty" VW for me... OH, BTW.....got some new Fuchs 16x6 front 16x7 rear, off a totaled '82 911SC supposedly....lotts $$$ but worth it, there in pretty good shape....
