Looks darker than Baltic blue, but does not appear to be a bad deal with the engine upgrade. No affiliation.

I’m no stranger to Porsche, but just starting a search for a 914, and my 914 knowledge is pretty minimal. In fact, I’ve never even driven one. Is an aftermarket engine block like this seen as a value add or, like a lot of engine mods in other models, does it make the car difficult to sell? I like the idea of 125 hp, but with the color change, I’m guessing this car is never going to sell for a top of market price. But does the engine modification further hurt the value?

I actually like the color, even though not period factory correct, and I actually drive my cars, so I’m not looking for a garage queen. But, I don’t want a car that’s going to be impossible to sell if I ever decide to.

Not an aftermarket engine block, it has a rebuilt engine supplied by Original Customs, very reputable company and 914World supporter.

The motor alone is $5000 investment, without the installation.

The carbs are a love/hate type thing, if you are comfortable with them then not a bad deal at all.

Thank you for the reply. I think I read somewhere that a change to carbs should be accompanied with a cam change. Is that true?

I assume the engine in this car would be set up for carbs as it's an upgrade.
