you can get 140k out of a motor, you can also get 20 k out of a motor. i got 120k out of a vanagon motor before a valve seat dropped. in my opinion, the buying aspect of the car is the body condition (unless you're a body man) the engine can be rebuilt easier, IMHO, than body work. anyway, once you get the 914 bug it's: MORE POWER! so naturally, you'll replace the motor with a 2L or better. nobody restores a 1.8L. oh wait, i am....... and mikester (?) and a few others enamored with 76 HP! long live L-jet!
