Just purchased my first Porsche. A 1971 914 with a dead motor so I figured the best bang for the buck would be a Subie motor/trans swap but I'm having trouble finding a shop in southern California. Renegade is backed up for several months. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated.

Mine was a Renegade car that was done very well. You are welcome to come take all the photos you want. 2.0 turbo with a 901. My plan is to ultimately convert to the Suby trans, but if you just want it converted, using the 901 bolts up REAL easy with no fabrication of axles or CV joints.

Thanks, I'll take you up on that soon to check your's out. Two questions on your conversion: how is it with the 901 tranny? Also, what did the conversion from Renegade run you, if you don't mind me asking.
