I havn't seen a properly prepared sbc in a 914(not that they are not out there). All the ones i have seen are cast iron jobs. But lets size up an all alloy block, canted valve alloy heads, forged crank,etc . Make peak power at 6500 to 7000 rpm with a rev limit of 7500. I dont have numbers for weight , but my hunch is it will be slightly lighter than a alluminum cased 911 engine. I bet it would be a very effective car on med to longer tracks. The down falls I see is heavier trans to take the power and brakes. Price would be on the high side too.A v8 mod keeps the hot rod tradition going, and who can argue with the cobras and Listers that did well in the late 50s early 60s. Just my 2 cents
