I 'm working on a Rat Rod 914 and I'm wondering if it is more work and money trying to put a Porsche 6cly in the car or just get a cheap small block chev V8 instead .. I have hear the guys have spend big bucks trying to rebuild a 4 cyl only to spend more time tuning and messing with trying to keep it tuned .. Whats your advice or feedback .. Thanks
