This weekend I welded the 1 1/4" tube that locates the rear tranny mount. After that I was able to cut out the left side sheet metal. I have a BIG pile of metal left over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

QUOTE(synthesisdv @ Dec 9 2004, 06:16 AM) QUOTE(URY914 @ Dec 8 2004, 09:44 PM) I've been doing a little research, what do you think of these options 200-250 HP in a 1400 pound car will be all the fun I need. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Give me some feed back. Paul, Can you get it that light with one of these bigger motors? Even with an aluminum 6 you still have to add radiator, plumbing, etc. I think you'll be above 1500 even if you keep cutting sheetmetal unless you go to a rotary or keep the TIV. Dave, I was saying the car now would be 1400 but probably more like 1200 w/o engine. I agree with Tim that the FI may be a problem on a oddball engine swap. Once you start messing with a late model FI engine you'll need to sort out the wire harness and the rest of the pieces. A SHO or Lexis would be more high tech than my low tech car. The words "simple swap" really don't apply with these. Let me watch Larry and his 928 swap. Maybe thats the way to go to keep it all in the P-car family. How many 914/928 engined semi-tube frame autox cars are out there? Think they'd let me run it at PCA Parade? I'd be run out of the club if I showed up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) Paul |
