Hi,
I have two donor 914's, I can get a 32 valve 928 motor for alot less than a 6 cylinder. When I am done I can still race in the PCA club. So, I have seen a few (cant remember alot of detail, but this has been done before) What do you guys think... from what I read about 928's, I can get to 400 hp fairly quickly with a supercharger...

Hi,
Please tell me about the clearance issues... This is the key. What did you have to do to the firewall??? How far forward will the new firewall have to be when you are done? I noticed you moved the tranny back two inches... doesnt this change the angle of the axles, and does it work with so much HP??? shifter rod and oil pan... I assume that the rod could be manufactured somehow, I wont know till I see it. The oil pan is a new glitch...please tell me about it... Really interested in where you are with the project... I have looked all over you site and I see nothing new... so tell me whats not there please please... BTW I am not of the faint of heart. I am convinced that for what I want in a car, what I'm willing to spend, this is the way to go... I want all porsche (chassis and motor) to enable me to stay in the PCA racing. I want to put the HP in this car that it should have, but not get a six...to much money, not enough HP/dollar A 300 hp six will cost $6000.00 from what I can tell just for the motor. A 32 valve 318 HP 928 engine $1500.00 at the junkyard. More money for a coil over suspension etc... I feel that the six parts etc are over priced. I like the idea of merging two of the porsche bastard cars into a great race car that will make the 911's watch from behind...... :-) Rich |
