I almost went that way with my second 914 -- nearly bought a fresh 327 -- but decided it was "sacrilege" to take away the uber-character of the euro-engine, and that just hearing that flat-6 whine making music everywhere you go was too much to give up for a V-8. In the end I converted 2 914's to 914-6's by myself and was ecstatic with the results. Now, I drive a 74 911 that had a 3.0SC swapped in by the prior owner -- and I really feel that more power would just be more than I could enjoy in a daily driver. As is -- I reach 99mph so fast it's almost disappointing (they can arrest you for 100). If you really want the V-8 -- buy a 1975 or older so you're exempt from smog. Even the older ones can be "updated" inside & out to make it look however you want.
