I cut my wrenching teeth on VW bugs and Type 3's back in the '70's and '80's. Been somewhat out of the game for several years looking to rejoin into the 914 world. Generally the easiest way for more kick is to increase displacement. Short of going to turbo's what is available as far as big bore kits. I am not interested in going the 6 cylinder route or chevy small block route. The car will be street only, but I need speed.

If you have the money to build a 6 and put it in a 914 these days you likely have the money to do whatever you want to your 914. A quality 6 build for the engine and accessories is about the same as an entire new small car. Not a fancy one, but still...

Zach As I currently find myself cash flowing a 2.4L rebuild I can only agree with your premise. And your point is? For the price of a Lambo I could also buy a nice house. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It's always been this way. When I was younger I desperately wanted a six but couldn't afford it back in the day. When I had my first teener back in the late 80's I was broke and could barely afford to rebuild my 1.7L when it lost oil pressure. Actually, I couldn't afford it . . . and did it on a credit card since the teener was my daily driver at the time. Now later in life, I find myself in the fortunate position of being able cash flow it over time . It's all relative. Spread out over two or three years, it doesn't hurt quite as much.
