You wouldn't be reading this listing unless (1) you already appreciated the 914's mid-engine handling characteristics and (2) you wondered what it would be like to combine that handling with the torque of a V8 engine ???
How about heart-pounding, almost scary performance like 0 to 60 in 4.x seconds, the quarter in the 12's, turn-in like a go-kart and stopping on a dime ... leaving an ear-to-ear grin that will almost break your face - but NOT your wallet! With over 100 pages and 250 color pictures & illustrations dedicated to the 914 heritage, four different ( priced ) stages of 914-8 development from stock to sleeper to pumped to radical - pick your poison, the actual ( how-to ) conversion details and much of the conversion's follow-on accessorization. Normally sold on eBay for $ 69.14 plus shipping, it's offered here on the 914club at $ 60.00 plus actual shipping ( US Priority Mail ) cost. Following is the Table Of Contents page for an overview ... for more info, contact ... ed.ducey@gmail.com [B] Attached image(s) |

I have one. I can't put my hands on it like most all other books in my house it has been put up by my wife along with all her teacher crap on a full wall bookshelf and in stacks of books everywhere.
I have built several toys. So my outlook my be different than others who may be just starting out. When I got it, it's not real thick, I read it cover to cover and really didn't find anything really outstanding that wasn't already available here or online. It was really sorta like reading about the fiero v8 conversion from the guy in florida that put the sbc in a brand new 84/4 cyl fiero. Mostly old technology. The best way to do any conversion is to do your own research on the latest stuff available and the reports of the people doing them, because it will be old technology before you get through. |

I too am interested. I have had two 914's in the past. A 70, 914-6 and a 73 914 2.0 with the appearance group. Great cars. Been away from the 914 world (20+ years) but am coming back with a vengeance. Went to engineering school and raised 5 boys. Now ready to tackle a project I have been wanting to do for a long time. Have an itch to build a 914 V-8, caged, and all steel flares with monster meats in the rear. I would love to get my hands on a copy of this book as well.
