My buddy is about to junk his 1992 ford f150, and it has the 5.0L 302 EFI, motor that is in pretty good condition...everything else on the car, not so much. Engine needs a new water pump and thats it, easy fix. He said if i put the engine in the 914 or my vw bug i can have everything i want for free, ecu, radiator, etc. Will that motor fit or can i make it fit? Ive heard most v8's will, just want to make sure before i start doing anything. thanks
My plans are to put the v8 in the porsche and take the porsches motor and put that into the vw. Every car gets more power!!!!!! |

They are actually a little too long from the front of block to the end of water pump.It could be done but you would have to cut out the center hump betweenthe seat backs as the water pump would stick through that area . The chevy V-8 block is easier to install because the water pump can be mounted off to the side not directly on the engine block affording more room in the engine bay. I am not saying it can't be done , it would be complicted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) .I'm sure there are others here that would know more about the intallation of a Ford engine in a 914, heck put it in the VW !!!!
