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.

For me, this all boils down to.....Whatcha gonna do with it when it's "done"?
Go on drives? Park it in a lot & open the engine lid? Blow off ricers on the street? Brag that ya built it? Post pics on the net? Ask a whole bunch of money for it on Ebay? AX? Race? Rally? I love hot rods & the idea of hot rods, but for me they are not, in themselves, the endgame. |
