Still a 914 w/ tube chassis????, and modern suspension and???? Options

After seeing Bretts post this morning on his project car (which is pretty darn cool), I was wondering what point is the car no longer a "914"

Is the line crossed when a different make of motor is put in?? almost any German motor is okay in my book

To you is an Audi motor okay but not a Subaru?
sorry, I cannot do the Suby, it's just "wrong" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

What about the chassis?

For PCA racing, I believe one must have the firewalls and the longs...

As much as I like the full tube frame cars, they are no longer a 914, just an image of one.....

Suspension: Would swapping to modern P-car parts be okay? such as using the suspension from Boxster, I like the idea, but not allowed in PCA except X or fun runs I think

What about all new and non-P-car designed suspension?

take a look at the suby motor, and a porsche 6 ( both air and water ) the suby looks a lot like a 6 with 2 cylinders cut off.

and i will throw in my hypo idea, does the guy who build 4 cylinder engines using 6 cylinder and pistons with a basicly cut down 6 crank count as a 914
