Well many of you know that I sold 1 of my 914-6s. I sold it with 2 engines and since it's going across country, the original motor needed to be in the car vs spending big bucks to ship on a crate.

Steve Gaglione took one look at the motor and the empty trunk and said "T.C. there's no way that's going to fit". I told him it's going in. I should have bet the lunch tab on it.

now take a -6 and rear engine mount it, use an AWD differential and tie them together instead of the rear of the trans being an output, make it another input and drive the rear wheels into oblivion. I see a quad turbo Veyron killer in someone's future

Add a couple of U-joints you'll be running up Pike's Peak!

Run a prop off the front one, if nothing else it will make it easier to pass.

Remember, the 914 was originally designed to be a front engine car.
