There has been all kinds of engine swaps into the Base 914s (Porsche Aircooled 6 cyls-2.0L 2.2L 2.4L 2.7L 3.0L 3.2L 3.6L) along with a large range of Subaru Conversions and LS1 engines, SBC, any other conversions, along with 2056 builds etc. I’m sure a lot of people besides myself would like to see some performance specs after these conversions were completed (0-60mph 0-100mph, 1/4 mile, roll on performance) along with transmission changes and estimated cost for conversion.
Example: Upgraded to 2056cc build (Fats Performance), 125-130hp, dual 40 carbs, cam etc., headers, stock 901 side shift trans. With Rennshift Shifter, 911 suspension conversion. 0-60 6.5 seconds. 1/4 mile about 90 mph. Cost for drivetrain including trans rebuilt approx $10,000.00 in 2015. |

I went from a 75 2.0 to a 2056 with just about every bell and whistle you could put n it. $5K for the engine and EFI system. I'm sure I have an additional $5K in there too but I have intentionally NOT kept track of my receipts. Bearing in mind that this is also spread out over many years (almost 10)
I also had to rebuild the engine as soon as I bought it due to sagging case registers that the PO did not know about. Then had to rebuild it again a few years later because I was chasing my tail with carbs and could not leave well enough alone (over an issue with a 10 cent defective carb gasket.....) The result is a TIV that dynoed 127 at the wheels (est 150 HP at the crank) and runs cool on the freeway. When this engine dies - I'll probably go Suby. But I'm hoping it lives for quite a while. For the money, I probably should have done that from the outset. Live and learn. Zach |
