Well I got my 71 from Cali 3 years ago and every winter it goes thru some changes but this year is the "BIG" one.
As you can see the car is stripped and getting ready to change colors. It was a factory silver car that went red and then black. Every new paint job was of a lower quality so time for a change. The car was hit in the front years ago and has a branded title so it'll never be a collector... and I always wanted a tangerine 914,so.....although going back to silver was tempting. I'm also doing a 1911 with 36 dells. It's heart will be a Elgin 7008 with 280 dur and 333 lift. I also had my heads done with 2.0 stainless valves,cnc'd for flow and new seats,guides & springs. These pictures are kinda all over but I'll add a few as I go. Oh...and the fridge has the good'ol New England Porter for inspiration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Hope your winter projects are as much fun, can't wait to be driving again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hi John,
The combo should be a rev happy little motor that'll put out 110-120 HP. The heads are set up to flow the exhaust well and Dema at Elgin want's the cam to run 9.5-10.0 to 1 compression...so it should spin up quick. I'm also lightening the flywheel to help responce. Yea the porter was a self brew. Pretty easy though as we have a brew house ( Deja-Brew.com ) that you can go to and use the brewery. Very tasty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Cheers |

With a $75 initial investment for equipment, I now brew for cheaper per case than budweiser. |
