Hello all - I bought the 73 914 2 liter out of Baltimore that somebody referenced on this site under cars for sale - anyway , I've been a porsche nut for years - mostly 911s - This is my first 914 - Well folks if I knew how fun they were relative to handling I would have bought one years ago - my 914 has twin 44mm Webers on a fresh stock top end rebuild - jetting is probably too rich - probably over carbed in general - but beyond that it's just not fast enough to enjoy fully - A local PCA guy stopped by this weekend and let me drive his 2.0 bored to 2.7 w/ Megasquirt and some other stuff - wow - really fun to drive - I want mine to be more like that car - my one friend is pushing for a Chevy V8 conversion - my PCA race buddy wants to put a 2.2 911s motor in - I could buy this guys 2.0 race motor listed on 914 club - I'm uncertain - so I'd really some opinions from more experienced 914 guys - my 914 is very solid, fender flairs, side shift tranny - strong enough and worthy enough to spend a little $$ to make go faster - thanks in advance for your help - Phil

That sounds about right. My complete running 2.4 911 E engine and 914-6 oil tank were about $2300. Throw in the Patrick engine mount $350, MSDS headers $450, muffler $300, Ignition $130, fuel pump/regulator $125. ...Oh wait that was $4000 + engine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Dont forget that most people who are going from stock 2.0 to anything over a 2056 T4 are going to be upgrading to new fuel delivery system, headers, oil cooler, etc too. I'm quickly learning that a six conversion really doesnt need to cost as much as 914 club urban legend would indicate if your're willing to shop around for good deals. |
