You wouldn't be reading this listing unless (1) you already appreciated the 914's mid-engine handling characteristics and (2) you wondered what it would be like to combine that handling with the torque of a V8 engine ???
How about heart-pounding, almost scary performance like 0 to 60 in 4.x seconds, the quarter in the 12's, turn-in like a go-kart and stopping on a dime ... leaving an ear-to-ear grin that will almost break your face - but NOT your wallet! With over 100 pages and 250 color pictures & illustrations dedicated to the 914 heritage, four different ( priced ) stages of 914-8 development from stock to sleeper to pumped to radical - pick your poison, the actual ( how-to ) conversion details and much of the conversion's follow-on accessorization. Normally sold on eBay for $ 69.14 plus shipping, it's offered here on the 914club at $ 60.00 plus actual shipping ( US Priority Mail ) cost. Following is the Table Of Contents page for an overview ... for more info, contact ... ed.ducey@gmail.com [B] Attached image(s) |

Hello Jennifer
Sorry to hear about your dad, I actually bought a conversion manual from him a couple of years ago, and then a V8 converted 914 that was in that manual ! Now I would love to get a more current digital copy and continue his work with your permision, since I know Ed was always updating and improving the manual Also, what will you do with his own Porsches? Please send me your responses as soon as you can, and thanks in advance, Joe |

Hello Jennifer Sorry to hear about your dad, I actually bought a conversion manual from him a couple of years ago, and then a V8 converted 914 that was in that manual ! Now I would love to get a more current digital copy and continue his work with your permision, since I know Ed was always updating and improving the manual Also, what will you do with his own Porsches? Please send me your responses as soon as you can, and thanks in advance, Joe Hi Joe, Thank you for your kind words on my dad's book. He was very proud of it. The plan is for me to take over the book and market it and of course, I would love to partner with people who have great interest in updating his book as he would want that. I have some kinks to work out with who has it now and getting it from them. I hope to have it soon. As for his Porsche..its will be distributed shortly by the estate court. He only had one left - Sluggo his Porsche 914-6. The black v8 was sold in 2007 and the porsche ultima he worked on with his buddies wasn't owned by him but his best friends John Miller and Lawrence Farmer. I know they have been trying to sell that car now that its finished. If all goes well and the court approves the transfer of Sluggo to me I hope to take it for lots of rides. I love that car. I'll email you once I get more details on his book. Jennifer |
