Saw a yellow 914 pulled over by the OHP...the other day.

Don't see many Porches in OK....let alone 914's...

It’s a little surprising how few 914s we see these days, given that Porsche built around 120,000 of them. I know of a guy who races one with my SCCA region; he swapped in a Subaru turbo flat-four.

If I were to get a 914, though, I’d prefer to go the (expensive) all-Porsche route and swap in a flat six out of a 911. Depending on which one, though, I’d possibly have to upgrade the timing chain tensioners; ‘84 and later engines have tensioners fed by oil pressure and are less prone to catastrophic failure.
