I'm new to the 914 world and coming from the 911 side the only thing I miss is the power. Otherwise, I actually prefer the new 914 to my Bahama Yellow 67 911S.
Anyway, it's a 73 1.7 that's been recently rebuilt, the only change being a Webcam and Hydraulic lifters, no idea of specs on the cam though. What about a bigger bore kit on my 1.7. How big can you go on these cases, and will the FI and stock heads starve it for power? I'm not looking for a race motor, just something that scoots around nicely, say 100-125HP. Whatever I do I absolutely want to retain Fuel injection. That being said, is my best option a later 2.0, and if so, how much reliable HP can be done with FI? Thanks for any advice, Bill oh, and here's a pic of the new girl. Attached image(s)
