First post, so here goes! New to 914's but not to Porsches, I've owned every version of the 911 from the SC to the 991.2 and 924/944/968 models.

I live in Louisville KY and just purchased a 1973 1.7. The engine is tired and leaking oil from every orifice. The body and interior where professionally restored about 10 years ago and still look really nice. Just need a solid powerplant to make it a great driver.

Can anyone recommend a good Type IV engine rebuilder? I'd like to not go too crazy with the rebuild and keep it mostly stock. My only wish list item is to increase displacement out to 2.0L and convert to electronic ignition.

Shipping the engine anywhere in the US is fine. I want a great rebuild, and no customer service hassles. I don't mind spending alittle extra to get the best.

With that....Who do you guys recommend?....

Since you are willing to ship send it to Original Customs in Michigan. Give Mark a call.

Even if you just want to
Punch it to 2.0 and freshen up
Regardless of displacement its not cheap


If you buy something pulled or dropped from another 914
you will save huge amounts of time and money


Good
Running 1.7 or 1.8 is fraction of cost and almost as much fun as a 1911 with all the goodies

fat performance ca

I shipped my 2.0 to them for rebuild. Great service, knowledgeable staff, and the motor is strong.

Might give them a call. Not cheap but best craftsmanship around. Long time type 4 shop.

Just sent Mark and Email. Thanks for the info!
