Happened across this car for sale in Folsom Ca yesterday.

Clewett Engineering, Richard Clewett's custom built 914-6 turbo conversion.

Twin plug 3.1 putting out what I was told 400 HP on low boost and 500 on high boost.

Full cage tied to suspension points. 915 transmission. Asking $41k

Cool car and solid price. I dislike most of the plumbing but that could be redone.

The photos look like they are trying to force feed air into that motor. Reminds me a bit of a picture that shows a French farmer feeding a goose. In both cases beyond my price. Seems like a low price to me.

Yeah the turbo is under the right rear trunk. The air filter above it feeds the turbo and then is pushed through the intercooler into the engine.

Someone could put steel flares on it, change the intercooler setup to put a regular trunk lid on it, repaint it and have a very solid sleeper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
