Yeah, I wouldn't go with a 944 unless you had a good 8k to spend on a good one. Most under that weren't well cared for and of course it is a porshe so partn't are cheap.
As for a 914 you can find them in the sub $1000 range. I say get one with a good body and bad tranny and make yourself a 916 with a Xt6 engine. They are cheap enough, reliable enough and the adaption is fairly straight forward. Plus you'll have plenty of power w/o creating issues of too much power for the rest of the car to take.
