Hello all. Hope I'm in the right place. Thinking of buying a 73 914 with the Subaru svx conversion already done (in a garage) It's a California car so no rust. How do I know if it's been done reasonably correct. Can I assume that the worst thing that could happen is that the engine could be bad and I'll just need to replace it. It's an SVX 6 with the original 914 transmission. Does that set up sound correct? My goal is to be able to drive anywhere without worry. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, the car is currently on ebay.

Well after all of my bidding on the eBay suby car, the guy actually contacted me and he gave a price I could not refuse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I pick up the car this coming Monday, yes April 1st. Just about everyone who commented on the add and even the guys at Renegade said it looked to be a good car and a good potential LS1 conversion. They also said the car would sell for much more so I feel good about it. Thanks for all your help everyone. I guess the journey begins now!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
