Welcome Brandon,
It's good to see some young blood on here not caught up with the current rice trends. I'll try and answer some of your questions.
1) The one and the same. 914-4's are powered by VW Type IV engines, as well as all buses from 72-79, all 411/412's and the first year of the Vanagons.
2) The cost depends on how crazy you decide to go. With this look the sky's the limit, i mean your wallet. If you look hard enough you can find some good deals on used porsche parts, but stuff like 17" twists, Porsche cooling kits, and carbon fiber are going to be big bucks, let alone a big Type IV.
3) We help each other out on here. If you have a question ask it and the answer will come. Also this site has a excellent search function. There is a wealth of knowledge in this forum.
I hate the rice fad too. If you build a car that can take on the real sports cars then the honda's will be childs play. I hope this helps a lil.
Nick
