Hoping I can tap into the collective knowledge here:

I bought a 1971 914 which was built and raced in CVAR about a year ago and would like to continue my plans to create a GT tribute. The car came with a fresh 1.7 which I'm told was enlarged to a 1.9. The transmission (side-shift) was rebuilt and modified to be "close ratio". There was also some top-end mods done in 2018 in an attempt to find more HP.

I will post what info I have below, but I'm hoping some of you might help me identify what I have and what it's worth. My other question is whether or not I should keep the modified transmission or run the stock rebuilt 901 that I have. I'm planning to install a 2.2 with moderate cams and carbs. TIA

Info from the build sheet:

Engine: New Weber 40 IDF’s / EMPI Manifolds & Linkage / New Distributor Cap / Coil / Wires / Points / Plugs / New Euro Racing Matched Length Headers and Megaphone Exhaust. Heads overhauled by HFM 9:1 compression cut, New Pushrod Tubes and Viton Seals. New SCAT Hi Capacity Oil Sump.
Transmission: Internals Rebuilt by Joe Cogbill: Close ratio 4/5 gears installed, all new syncros, diff seals and gaskets. Shift linkage re-bushed and adjusted.

In case anyone here knows the car, I will post a pic.

The engine will be worth something whole to someone looking to stay in the 1.7ish ball park. The 4 bolt heads are the limiting factor for those seeking performance. 40's are a good match for the 1.7.
Transmission "close ratio" is kind of hard to pinpoint. Will only be usable to another racer as close ratio boxes (S, X) will yield good power band shifting in a race setting , but not really good on the street. I may be interested in the box as a spare for my race car.
Values? hard to say -Engine in the $1-3 k range. Trans in the $1-1.5k range. Just wild guesses.
