$2,500 for a '74 1.8L really isn't that bad (excluding CA and it's smog requirements), especially if it's a relatively rust-free example and in decent mechanical shape. But the part you can't confuse yourself with is the original 4 verses homemade 6+ debacle.

If you're just interested in "a 914" for its native capabilities, fine. But if you're in the market for "a 914" so you can go out and copy the "slightly built 3.0" example you rode in, than you're talking a heavy-duty investment of time, troubles, and $$$.

Oh sure, now you're gonna get a stack of posts on this subject yea-high on how you can-do/should-do/better-do the whole conversion on just the lint in your pockets. Best suggestion is to just buy the example you drove in and call it even.
