I think I'm leaning towards something like Scotts Suby motor or maybe a rotary. Spending 10 grand on a 911 motor seems wasteful. I could sell my 914 and take $10k and come close to buying a used Boxster. Spending $6K on a Raby motor is insane. Spending $2-4K on a type IV motor to get 120 HP doesn't seem fruitful. If it takes that much money to get a type IV to gain 30 HP that motor doesn't want more power or wasn't designed for HP.
There are so many motors you can buy complete for $1k that have 150 HP. Fitting radiators and water lines along with motor adapters and carriages can't be too hard.
I really like that air cooled sound though. Maybe I should look into turbos for the type IV.
Dave, I'd like to hear more about the Megasquirt.
