I think I'm gonna sell the 2.7 that was going into the race car.
I went to the Porsche Thunder at Putnam Park (Indy) this weekend.
Of the 4 914s running 2 were 2.2-6's (1 weber, 1 slide valve), 1 was a 2.0-4 and the other a 1.7.
The 1.7 is a fast car. I talked to him last year and was very impressed by the car AND the driver.


The 2.2 seemed a pretty good match for a 914. It would keep me in a slightly slower class, but a very competitive one.
Any thoughts?

2.7 sounds fun, but the sane conversions that make sense to me are 2.4, and 3.0/3.2

2.4 a bit mild, but not as stressed as the 2.7, I care, because it's hot here, and I can be a tach monkey.

3.0/3.2 because that can be made nearly bullet proof, and last as long as a paintjob.

Take into account the only thing I race is myself.

Now, about that MFI...
