So here goes nothing. I'm kicking off my build for a 400+hp awd electric conversion of my 74 914. I will part out a Volt and use the drive unit in the rear of the car, the battery will be rotated 180 and go in the tunnel between the seats. A Model S drive unit will power the front wheels completing the AWD.

Good luck with the build. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Folks on this site can definitely help with advice on suspension and other parts, and how to reinforce/repair the chassis. These cars rust from the inside out so look carefully for hidden rust. You may want to consider the engman stiffening kit, I think now sold by Maddog? I adds a lot of strength back to the center of the car to make up for rusting/age. It is easy to install (weld in) as well. I second the idea that the front motor may be more trouble than it is worth. John |
