Still contemplating what way to go with for a motor. I'm down to either staying with a type 4 (R.A.T.)or doing the V-8 thing. I'm not totally sold on doing a V-8 yet, it still seems a little out of character for the car(yet I keep coming back to that option, power and price I guess). I'm afraid of winding up with a "point and shoot" car. Any help?

I bought a 215v8 buick conversion, added a tach from renagade. The first 914 owner I gave a ride to is doing a 327ci conversion. I still need to replace the radiator overflow (to small ). 215ci conversion only adds about 50 pounds to the weight of the car I am told (have not weight it ).
I am planning to test the limits this summer, drag race/autocross/hill climb, I will post the results. |
