At the suggestion of the board, I am bringing my 76 914 with a 73 2.0 (dual Webers) to Chris to have the engine and drive train looked at. I already have a new cam on the list. I'm also considering SS headers and break and fuel lines.
Any one else have any constructive suggestions OTHER THAN dropping in a V8 from a Cayenne GTS? Thanks. |

No harm in getting lots of opinions but, as Jim D suggested, your best advice will probably come from Chris once he has looked the car over.

It's amazing what you find wrong with these cars when you go looking. Some of the work done in the past left a lot to be desired for sure. The previous owners and shops who serviced this car were guilty of very poor workmanship/maintenance. Whoever "upgraded" the engine to a 2056 got a piece of the tin caught between the cylinder and crankcase, causing the large oil leak that began our involvement with the car. Someone installed new floor insulation in the passenger compartment, right over the original sound deadening panels without even cleaning off the dirt and loose crap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) The latest item Ed found today is that the shift linkage was operated without a cup bushing for many, many miles. The shift coupler is worn so thin that there is a pinhole through the side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The engine is back in the car as of today, and we are finally nearing completion of the project. Attached image(s) |
