The turbo 3.3 uses 97 mm pistons. If you found a good set of used turbo jugs you could have them bored and replated which would get you close to your goal for a lot cheaper than a new kit.

Thanks for the idea.

Ya, i think I've heard of them. I think they make V8 swap kits for the 914. I was considering a 350 swap for awhile.

They do the swaps for all of the Porsches. The 350 route is pretty cool, but the transaxles will break if you run a decent set up of a motor.
I went out there and visited them for a week, they are really cool people.
They swear by the 914 V-8's, but I am not convinced yet. Yes, they run like raped apes, but I wasn't very impressed with the conversion kit, plus you have to hack the car apart for the radiator setup.

Ya, mine had A/C up front, which left little room for a radiator. I say had because between the rebuild time my landlords workers backed a backhoe into my baby. They paid it out but the car was half apart and rusty. I figured I will just take the money and start over with something a little less rusted. I looked into the 350 swap but figured 84mm crank and 94mm pistons were the way to go. I still got the roof and other minor things laying around for the next 914 that will be less rusted, hopefully
