Does anyone have pics of a Ford v8 conversion? I'm going to do this conversion so don't try and make me do a Chevy.
351?
289?
302?
428?
what are you putting in?
No pics but I have heard of one with a 289.
Everyone chant "SHO, SHO, SHO..."
I'd love to see a SHO motor in a teener. I swear, one of the best motors I've ever owned.
Here is just one of several threads on the SBF in a 914. I did a lot of measuring, etc as well.

I have fond memories of a 351 Windsor.... Great motor. Ran super strong for 200k miles. I only wish it was in a 914!
IIRC, the dimensions make it a bit more of a fitment challenge. I think it's longer and requires some firewall work?
Of course anything is doable. It will just take more custom work. The SBC is a lot easier because of the all the aftermarket kit parts.
I think the engine from my '03 Cobra would be best

looks the same as a Chevy install except for the distributor being on the front of the motor |

The engine will be a 91 5.0 from a Mustang LX, and I just happen to have at my disposal some Cobra parts, intake and heads. I took a look at the pics of the can am style 914 from Sean, but I still can't tell if there is a clearance problem with the distributor. I think he said it has a dist. I noticed his pics were from last year, has he finished the car.

The motor itself is roughly the same size... it's the waterpump/timing cover BS that adds so much length. Very do able conversion, but takes some high end fabrication on the front of the motor. Might also have issues w/ distributor clearance??? BJH |
914 will be coming next week to my house, have to make room in the garage. It's a 72 that has been in storage for 20 years, when I get it here I'll start to take some pics and hopefully figure out how to post them
