I'm looking at buying a converted 914-6 that is about 700 miles from me. The engine was rebuilt about 10 years ago but never really even broken in. The current owner estimates about 7 total hours on the engine. I am considering flying up there and driving it back but am somewhat concerned due to the engine not really being tested yet. Its either that or have it shipped. Was looking for some opinions from you guys to help make the decision.
