There's no demand for these engines, hence the price tag. Your input means a lot. Of course there's no demand until an engine blows, or someone uses one for something else. It just looks interesting. Also, in a 914, the turbo would be right behind your seat. My comment about “no demand” comes from the conversions that people are doing to 718s to remove these engines, and fit a six. The main reason why this is being done is because the dislike of the “sound” from these engines. They have proven to be more reliable and less failure prone than their six cylinder peers of the same era based on our experience. Why dont early boxster engines get used . 98,99 Ive heard they have excellent reliability when really driven hard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) 97 and 98 are the best that were built from the whole engine family. Regardless of the yay or nays of this argument, it’s nice to see ^ this fella posting here again. Thanks. Things have changed a lot over the years for the 914, and what we build. I still appreciate my roots, and nothing parallels my passion for these old aircooled engines. This week I am finishing a 2 liter, 356 based engine for Miles Collier/ Revs Institute. It has been a fun one. Next week I start a 2,563cc T4 for a 912E :-) This post has been edited by Jake Raby: Sep 3 2020, 07:45 AM Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)
