Really liking my 1975 914/4 with 96 P&C's, Elgin cam and twin Weber 40 IDF's. Torquey, simple and just fun
My /6 conversion is being a PITA looking back I probably should have kept the $25.k or so and invested in Tesla |

My dear old dad always said “ Are you going to be happy with it, when you are done?” Not always easy to find a finished car to ride in, but it helps.

A 6 conversion isn't the easy swap we all seem to think it is.
But I think once its done you are really going to like it. Zach |

Also curious what part of the conversion is a PIA. Some conversions are easier than others, but it depends on your skills, tools, etc. maybe someone local could help?

Pain is the time and/or money to do so. Mines been apart for 12 years and everytime I save up to finish the motor something comes up and eats all the savings.
I took apart a really good carb’d /4 for an easy swap and it scope-creeped from there, along with the above. Hard to spend money on my thing when family benefit wins 100% |
