I thought I read a posting that listed all the different types of 914 conversions done over the years. I saved it but can't find it for some reason.
Anyhow - I remember there being a 914 SHO V6 in the list. Does anyone know who has done one of these - not just thought about it, but actually built one? I'll go it alone if necessary, but I'd be curious to discuss some approaches with someone who's been there. TIA, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

When accelerating, it sounds like a boat going down the street! The SHO motors were built by Yamaha, where as the 405hp corvette ZR1 LT5 was manufactured by Mercury; also a super cool motor. The LT5 is supposed to be one of the most complex automotive engines ever built. Here's a pic of a SHO motor in an MGB, so anything is possible. Attached image(s)
