TYPE 4 report...

Well I just got a 2.0 914 type 4 "GA" code with a new DTM stage 3 kit and kennedy flywheel. The engine is in need of a little freshening up. There are no cross hatches left on the inside of the cylinders so I figure it is time for an overbore to 96mm. I will probably replace the cam since the valves were tight and there is probably some wear on the lobes. I want to rebuild it on a reasonable budget, up to $1500.... What are some options for me to consider while parts shopping for my engine...

very cool on that deal. leaves you more cash for the upgrades.

so is the $1500 more or including that deal? you will have $350-$1000 in exhaust depending on which way you go. is it FI or carbs? some good options there. GO CERAMIC LIFTERS. $400 or so there.

$1,500 more just to rebuild the engine not including exhaust or carbs. All I got was a longblock that was FI, but all that was removed. The Ceramic lifters are a no brainer after seeing all the research, and what can happen with cheap lifters.

I checked the heads and there were no cracks between the valves.

Would that work with a DTM.
More custom work.
I was kinda leaning toward some dual Dells... :agree:

Greneade???

Have Jake pick the cam and send the heads to Ham Inc. Search for a set of 40 Dells. Send the parts to Jake for bal. and build a screaming 2056. :agree:
