I am pretty sure that orange beast from SD has a 70's 930 drivetrain -- I heard the guy say it has the 930 4 speed trans also. Definitely had the finned 930/917 brakes too.
Personally, the 3.0 RS/RSR high-comp MFI or slide-valve injection setup, electronic dual plug ignition would be my choice of poison. (I would love to have one of those in a 914/6GT clone
) I was very fond of this engine, at least gawking at it in the parking lot at the Dunkels meet:
It is a 2.8 RSR setup with 7R case, 9.8:1 C/R, twin plugged, electromotive ignition, slide valve injection, headers, megaphones, and most likely some serious cajones.

70 911E Targa (engine fresh but mostly stock, 165bhp on a good day)
73 914 2.0 (bone stock and well-used, 95bhp in 1973, today who knows!)
Terminal power-envy is definitely setting in...why'd you guys have to start this thread!
