Looks like a very nice Xmas gift for someone to buy for themselves.

My 2.6 nickies engine has at least 20K+ miles on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That FAT shroud won't fit under a 914 decklid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I beg to differ (as long as you remove the rain tray), this is in my (new to me) Xmas present... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It's too bad our 914's don't show off the fan like a 911/912 does.

That's allot of coin for a 4cyl build.. I have never ridden in hot type 4 914 but I bet it's fun.. What kind of longevity do you get from that?

I always thought they looked like this one...

...but I guess the little blower at the lower rear qualifies.

That's a view we all miss with the 914,tarted up my "6" fin etc but don't forget its spinning there ….chipped a long nail when tuning mine,could have been a digit gone.
Message to self make the firewall opening bigger for those 6k timing checks :sawzall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Why will this motor be a timebomb ? ,check on Fat's past rep ...very strong builds in offroad and streetable t4 motors for a very long time.
Those TQ numbers are great @ lower RPM and max HP is sensible,sounds like it has to be a good engine,don't see any oil cooler however,is it missing? surely it can't have been on a dyno without it.
Read the comments on the auction !!!,one guy replied that it may have an offset ground crank …..really (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) .

No oil cooler on the block that I can see. External cooler required. 105mm cast-iron cylinders are not usually good for reliability. One guy did his own engine of similar displacement and had to do a top-end on it every year. I wouldn't be surprised if this were similar; heads refreshed (possibly cracks welded up) and a hone and re-ring every year or so.

The problem with the build is the iron cylinders, with 103's maybe at best 20K before you need to refresh and install new cylinders. 105's are even thinner.

My 2.6 78X102 with nickies has 20K on it now, at 80K (max) I'll refresh the heads, but the P&C's should be good to go. I chose the 102's over the 103 just because the cylinder walls are a bit thicker.
