If you could plan and build a Streetable 914, aka what options go into the ideal build Options

[Jay Wellwood]

Lurker, enthusiast, avid planner looking for what you would (or did) opt for if you had, say, 3 years to plan ahead and build a 914...

• Big 2.2l Raby Style or 6?
• Fuel Injection with optimized tune (MS, VEMS, ?)
• Conversion to 5 lug with later style 4 pot calipers
• Steel flares ('nuff said)
• Transmission - 901 vs 915?
• Factory A/C?

What are the features/performance you would (or did you) opt for?


Pic for Attention-

I would choose a narrow body, stock looking car.
A 2.5 or 2.8 SS engine, More likely. 2.5 because
finding an early 3.0 or Turbo Case is getting pricey
and less need for additional oil cooling with the 2.5

As long as it has a 66mm Counterweighted crank.
Lightened flywheel and if possible MFI, if not.. Weber’s
with tall manifolds and solex or modified solex cams.
3.0 or later oil pump and JE Pistons with twin plugs.
14” 5 bolt Fuchs and maybe GT rear brakes..

Looks stock and hopefully drivable in traffic
without overheating if needed and revs like crazy
when you want.
