The later 356 engines (also used in the 912 except for the 912E) made 90-95 HP. A little engine tin needs to be fabricated to fill the gap at the rear--the 356 engine is the same size as a 40-horse...

Are you talking "built", or stock?
The 914 motors offer a pretty decent amount of bang for the buck. The 411 and 412 engines have pretty much the same specs.
1.7 (high compression) == 80 HP,...

The W-code engine was also used (in almost identical form) in the injected 411. 80 HP and 99 lb-ft of torque, DIN spec. Dealing with the oil filler and dipstick issues will require some work. Note...

Changing the cam grind is not allowed. I'm not sure how else a "modern cam" could produce more HP than stock, other than by having a different grind. The cam, due in large part to the experience of...
