It's been 3 1/2 LONG years since I sold my beloved 73 914 2.0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) to help with a down payment on our new house. In two years I will turn 40 and plan to be a 914 owner once again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) .

The 3.2 is the pinnacle of the 'easy' motors to install. The 3.6 has the most hp (and is newest) but takes a little more thought and more parts to make work correctly (the oil cooler comes to mind, there isn't one on a 3.6). 3.0 motors are good, 2.7 can be good, but there are things to look for (pulled head studs) 2.5, 2.4, 2.2 are similar to the 2.7 but should be less stressed, but still the headstuds should be checked. 2.0 had two flavors of cases aluminum (early) and magnesium (later). The 2.0 aluminum cases are used for quite a bit of the 2.x race motors because of their durability.
My next conversion will be a 3.2. I'm currently working on a 2.7 for my race car (wish I would have bought a 3.0) but $ was tight and it will be a nice, fresh motor when done. I hope this helps and wasn't just a bunch of rambling. |
