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) |

The Craigs list posting actually looked promising and for a very reasonable price. I initially sent an email and got no response, so I called the number provided and spoke with Ryan. This was an older father-son project that had been shelved for a looonnngg time, but he had all the parts needed to complete the conversion except the ECU and engine wiring harness. Here are the pics:
Ryan indicated that he recalled they moved the engine/tranny backwards about seven inches to clear the firewall. You can see from the first pic that they needed to cut deep into the rear trunk to do this. I was planning a different approach that took some of that from the cockpit (since I can spare it) and less from the trunk. ![]() ![]() The parts on the rear of the engine, like the coil pack, can be relocated also to reduce its length. That only leaves the throttle-body sticking out, and the MAF sensor can be located along the intake tubing. Now that I've figured out how to address the intake I'm going to commit to doing the SHO 3.2 V6. Although I may not end up being the first - I'm convinced this will make a very cool 914 conversion. I forgot to mention that I left messages and sent emails indicating my interest to put a deposit on the car, but never heard anything back. So I'm assuming its sold or the owner changed his mind. |
