Length from the bell housing flange on the block to the front of the balancer/serpetine pulley: 25.5 inches
from bottom rail of block to highest point on the valve cover 21 inches. I might be sticking this into a stock chassis if it looks possible. |

QUOTE I went with the Lexus motor because it was cheap (I paid less than 300 delivered), It is compact, It has 4 cams, 4 valves per cylinders, All aluminum, Way overbuilt (stock block and stock crank can handle 2000+hp). It is a V8, I can rev it to 9 grand without a bunch or trouble, it is very l;ight weight and it resemebles some of the V8 Formula/LMP/GTP V8s. Now $300 is a DEAL and makes perfect financial sense. Which tranny are you using? Don't get me wrong I DO respect your opinion and appreciate your research. I just question choices because I've been down one road many years ago and am considering another. My next project will be a "modern" version of the 914. IMHO we are hooked on our 914's because they are relatively inexpensive and have the potential to be better, sort of a underdog complex. We tend to have a chip on our shoulders because of the relative lack of respect even with the Porsche label. There are many 914 engine options being explored today and you have chosen a unique alternative. Here's Rod Millen IS 430. My best advice is to do whatever it takes to get it running as soon as possible and sort it out over time... Good luck, Felix |
