Been looking for a car for my son lately (mostly Nissan Pathfinders). Noticed a VW van 1970 in the auto trader mag. It has a fuel injected chevy V6 that is claimed to produce 250 HP. It realy pushed me back in my seat. Not the most practicle thing in the world but then niether is a 914. They are asking 7000 and I am really tempted. The only down side is the radiators and fans are under the floor. Could be some clearance issues. Has anyone heard of this conversion?
Cheers, Elliot |

John,
I totally agree, my 73 was my first car, and I am still around also. I think 6 years of driving a bus made me a very good driver...you have to be, when you drive a car that you cant see out of, cant stop fast, cant turn fast, and can't get out of your own way...but, that said, they are great fun, and that is why I want to trick my old one out. First step is to get a good suspension and some upgraded brakes on there...then I will start thinking about the engine. Speaking of which, you have any info on that v8 powered bus you rode in? Thanks, Tony |
