I saw this beautiful looking 435HP engine and thought about what it would do in a 914. Then I woke up.
Can anyone guess what it is??

Even the intake runners look like plastic.


Yeah, I think I'd be a little upset about having plastic intakes on my megabuck car, but thats the way things are done nowadays. They won't conduct heat to the incoming air. Look at the Chevy LS-1/6. A beautifully cast hunk of metal, with ugly black GRP intake runners in the valley.

They're also lighter. I once helped a guy cut 2 pounds of aluminum out of an LT-4 intake. He was converting it to use short runners only.
