I have never posted here before, but here goes. This is my 1974 5.7L 914...We are conservatively guess-timating around 450hp . Trans has been reworked for a 3rd gear 1:1 ratio while 4th is overdriven and 5th is double overdriven. Brakes are Wilwood all the way round.

Here's a link to all the rework photos

Although I don't personally like the slant nose look, the work you have done looks first rate...

NICE! Setting up those carbs looks like a 8-12 hour job. I bet it sounds cool though.

That is one fine looking baby. The body is as wicked as what is hidden inside.
I love it.

Hope you don't wear a toupee or have any small children near the carbs. Nice
