Why not just build a big /4 motor?
Should be a better investment . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

A friend had a 2.8 FAT in his 914 that wore out just about anything that got in his way at auto crosses culminating in an FTD at the Porsche Parade in 2008. It had as much torque as horsepower. Combined with a short gear box it was a potent combination. I reckon the 3.6 dressed is close to 500# whereas the IV is around 300#. Alois Ruf states in this video: Pick up at 5:40.
