A few months back I posted about a yellow 914/6 3.0 that I traded for.. The car needed to be finished and I had too many projects. I sold the car rather than taking the time to finish it.

Fast forward a few months and one of my local customers passed his "916 replica" on to me.. It has the 916 bumpers and etc, but the targa top was left alone. The best part of this one is now I once again have a 914 equipped with one of my engines! Thats the first time in almost a decade!

Its a 2,316 that made 203HP on my dyno a few years back.. Its a beast, based off the same "Annihilator" combination that was in my old 914 (My old one only made 191 HP)... I actually took the previous owner of this car for a ride in my old 2,316cc powered 914 before he decided to have me build the engine for his car.

The best news is, the car isn't a project! Its a completely restored vehicle that needs nothing, and its way faster than the 3.0 Six conversion car I just got rid of! No comparison! Much more aggressive and the difference in throttle response is staggering between the two.

Here's the only photo I have on my laptop as I am in the air heading to instruct another Porsche engine school, this one is in NorCal

No reason to pull the engine from the car just to dyno it on the same dyno. I have a dynojet chassis dyno 10' away from that engine dyno, so when I have a chance I'll get it on the rollers to see.

Are those fender flares and lovely red paint what you're wearing, "Jake from State Farm?". It don't look hideous- it's a beauty! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
