Are you talking "built", or stock?

The 914 motors offer a pretty decent amount of bang for the buck. The 411 and 412 engines have pretty much the same specs.

1.7 (high compression) == 80 HP, ~99 lb-ft torque
1.8 (low compression) == 76 HP, ~99 lb-ft torque
2.0 (73-74 914 only) == 95 HP, ~105 lb-ft torque

The 2.0 engines tend to be pricey. The 1.7s nd 1.8s tend to be a lot cheaper.

The Bus versions of most of these generally are less powerful.

If you are going to build an engine, you can start with just about any Type IV. The crankcases are almost the same, except the Bus ones and some 411/412 (the "sedans", maybe?) have a different oil filler and dipstick setup from the rest.
