anybody heard of a V-TEC conversion for the 914. KEP could probably come up with an adapter if he doesn't have one already. but, will a front drive motor work with a rear drive tranny? does the crankshaft spin in the same direction? anyone hear of any other front drive engine conversions? my 914 deserves more power than i can afford to get out of my type 4 motor. for the cost of nickies and upright cooling and head work, etc. i could have a turbo vtec setup.

So, there are NO engine mounts on the engine itself other than the "front" mount through the timing belt. I suspect this isn't uncommon practice on other fwd cars, either.
It's purely speculation on my part about the shaking causing any long-term problems with the 914 gearbox mounts. Seems plausible, but it may amount to nothing. It could also rip the mounts out in a 100 miles. No telling until some sucker tries it... |
