I'm brand new to the forum as I have an opportunity to buy a 1976 914 2.0. The seller is vague on questions due to health problems. He's telling me he spent $7000 on engine mods. Claims it's 3.0 now and possibly 275-300 hp! Is this even possible? From the pics, which are terrible, it looks like 2bbl carbs and a blue circle shaped airbox in between. Not much to go on and he won't answer questions. Help!!

Buy it for the motor and box,part the rest out you cannot go wrong. What motor? The one that is claimed to be built on a 2.0 and have 300hp and a 9k redline but has never run? A few missing pieces to this retard puzzle. Zero rust? LOL Yeah, Riiiiight. I should retract that reply,read rebuilt engine and not the "non running "part ,makes you think it was run and went to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) shortly after (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . |
