If anyone wants to do a "big 4" I have a Raby balanced 78mm crank assembly fan to PP with rods (or an 80mm and rods, your choice), plus heads, a FF oil pump and other parts. Jake will only ship fedex so unless you can P/U stateside you will get bum raped on brokerage and shipping.
I've done a 2.6 big /4 (103X78mm) that pulled 150hp on the chassis dyno, cool at first, but I got use to it pretty quick in a speedster kit which was a lot lighter than a 914. The engine I was going to put in my 914 is now going in my wifes bug.
For a <2.7 /6 I have the flywheel and clutch plus a core 2.7.
If you do a six from scratch I could help you out on some of the conversion bits.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
