Hey guys
My first post. I'm looking for a 914 v8. Partial conversion is OK. I can finish it. I'm in Western Washington State in the US and can travel within a couple hundred miles to take a look, Wa. Or. and Id. Let me know what kind of stuff is out there. John/Autocanoe john@edensaw.com |

I saw a 914-8 ( actually 2-3) on e-bay a couple of weeks ago. one was hi dollar but turn key, the other sparked my intrest because of the ZF Pantera transaxle. I can't remember but 5K and the reserve wasn't met. I wanted it just for the trans.
I did the same thing buying one 85-95% done, Craig was the champion on that deal. Keep an eye out, study the Rod Simpson and Renegade websites. if I had the dough, flat 6, 3.2 or 3.6 would be the ticket. Good luck, T |

It concerned me that the seller showed no photographs of the transmission... You will find that a large number of sellers either misrepresent what they have, or simply don't have a clue - Just make sure that you get what you buy!!! |

He did have a link to a video, that did show the engine along with the trans and the Pantera shift gate. It was pretty beat, I'll take a E-bay prowl and see if it is still around. |

I'm really pleased there's so much interest in these cars and am sure mine's right around the corner. Any good leads let me know and I'll chase 'em right down. Seems like I'm hearing that the stock 901 will handle up to 300 hp. What about autocrossing? Are lots of 2-3 shifts at high rpm going to trash a stock tranny? What's your experience breaking teansaxles and what kinda resources for a stronger 911 tranny or beefing up the 901 are out there? John/Autocanoe |
