Purchased from the US BB model ,blown away by how rust free it is and the owner has a level of OCD that is rarely seen these days he is also a tool and die maker and builds the most amazing parts I have ever seen .
This car came to him with 112k miles and the motor was toast,he just looked @ a spare motor that he had which had a Eaton 45 blower on it and intercooler ,full EFI and most of the parts he made himself to a very high standard ,engineering like I have never seen before TBO.
A rebuild 411 WO case and stock bore and spec with carb cam ,running 7.5 psi boost .
Will post more when I hear more, it has completed a tuning test and first road test and really up to expectations.
Will update further ,cheers .

.No mate this guy is from the UK , he built this motor as a side project to go in a bus reading into it I think he sidelined the SC motor as would be a bit tricky pushing a bus forward...these buggers are heavy.
Someone on that forum said it wouldn't be much good in a 914 ,he politely replied it was a fun project and he built it for that reason and to test his idea's and develop his concept ..and why not if you have those skills eh .
My main reason for starting this thread was folks say you can't use forced induction on a 914 ,mcMark did it years ago and got good results with a turbo this guy has proved a SC works with clever research and the skills he has ,most of his induction system is custom made for example by him.
Cheers.
