Was it a 914 converted to a six or a 914-6 fitted with a 2.4?

2.2 doesn't have piston squirters either (or some did and some didn't). Does the 66mm crank rev up much faster? The stock 914-6 only had a 2.0T with a 'weedy' 110hp but personally given the choice I'd have this over the 2.0 4cyl. I think having a six in is so much more than just going faster. Maybe ...

If you want to keep it narrow bodied and not make massive mods to the brakes and gearbox etc then why not get one of the smaller engines (2.0-2.4) I have a 2.4T and I think it suits the car pretty well, nice and tractable with plenty of torque. The conversion is well worth doing and fairly straight ...

An outrage ...still I'm sure we can all go without the usual regurgitated, somniferous, history lesson on VWPorsche that seems to go with every 914 article.

Your engineers can't be that bad? I had mine done by a local engineer. It's very simple (no spot facing like the stubs) for anyone will a mill.
