Which engines are the best 6 cylinders. It seems I read somewhere that mid 70's models were lacking in durability. What was it and is there a fix now? And as far as value, which would be the best.

From reading Bruce's book and from seeing posts on various boards, it seems to me like every variant has known problems, minor on some years, major on others. But people have figured out the fixes for them and there is decades of history for proof. If you are going to have an engine to put in a 914, you can fix the problems before you put it in. Then you can worry about other things.
