I've been looking for another 914 and stumbled across a guy in hesperia that had a collection sitting around. There was a 1972 914 1.7 that was previously converted to a v8. It was last registered in 84 and has sat since. Made a deal and brought her to her new home. It's a little rough, but the rust it at a minimum.
Here are the two cars getting to know eachother. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i66.tinypic.com-18126-1477282564.1.jpg) |

Thank you, I'm starting to gain traction again which is always nice.
Has anyone ever removed the engine shelf from the engine bay? Since its going to be water cooled theres no need for it. plus it'll help clean up the bay a bit. TIA |

That's why I have no problem not going back to a stock aircoolec motor. It does give you a lot more space in the engine bay. I'm not sure if Porsche intended any of it to be structural but I'm leaving it off. |
