Check out this cool video of a 908 engine on the engine dyno at Rothsport Racing in Tualatin. I had the privilege to not only see this engine during its assembly phase, but they recently had another 908 engine under assembly and on the dyno that I got to see at several phases of the rebuild. Those engines are remarkable in the engineering detail from that era. Every nut, bolt, and stud was titanium and the exhaust layout was impressive.

Question: What engine was behind the 908 engine in the factory 914/8 car?
