Is there a such thing?
I was thinking about reliability and general life-span for the /4 and the /6, is it really worth going to a /6 just for longer life (possibly) and a bit more power? Or should I build a good fresh 2.0? |

A 3.2 914-6 conversion can make for a really nice street car. Starts right up, gobs of power, and excellent sounds. As for a daily driver, I'm sure it would hold up, but you may get excessive speeding tickets. How do you figure rebuilding a 2.0 for 2k? I started pricing out a complete rebuild (not just bolting a few new parts on with new bearings) and quickly got to 5k. (Heads done by Len, mostly stock parts to work with the stock D-Jet). I wanted a motor that would last and heads/exhaust that would not leak. I priced out a 3.2 and my wife told me to do the 6. (It was, after all, what I wanted to do in the long run.) I'm completely happy with it, and some day it will get the flares installed. |
