914 SHO - who dunit?, I'm going to do it - 3.2L V6 SHO Options

[3d914]

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.

the engine is coming along. Tom's been a big help getting things squared away. We've got a good block, crank, rods, pistons, heads, intake, etc.
I've started cleaning and will begin prepping for paint. This engine is going in a 914 that will be an orange. Here's one of the colors I like - Signal Orange, the other is Tangerine.


There are two complimentary colors on the car. When racing the GT's the factory would color code the bumpers so that each car could be identified easier when viewed head-on. I plan to apply this to my car and use yellow and red for the two halve-colors on the front & rear bumpers. These are the same colors I'll use for the engine.

Here's a quick image my son modified for me to illustrate. The block and oil pan will also be yellow to match the intake.


I wanted to avoid black since the engine cover is a black mesh. This way colors will be more apparent behind the black grill.

Actual pics to come once I get things painted and together.

Enjoy!
