I'm convinced a T4 would be the best for my GL. Since I have to change engine this summer, I'm facing a budget dilema: I only have about 1500 CDN$ to put into an engine. I want to know if I can keep the stock fuel injection or stock carbs, and stock exaust/muffler from a 914 for a starter and run this way for the summer? I know I cannot escape the flyweel/adaptor and cooling issues but can I save on Intake and exaust by staying stock? I have 2 oportunities: either 1.7 from an accidented 914 thats been sitting for 15 years so pistons are almost sized, and has 1 or 2 broken heads studs in the case for 250$ or a good 2.0l for 800$. What would you do? Will I have to brace my frame horns?

Thanks, your many answers have always helped me and I'm begging for help again.
