Got the engine & transaxle into the car, bolted up at the back, and ready to fabricate a few minor parts to make the new forward crossmember mate to the body. The forward crossmember was bought from Speedway Motors in Lincoln Nebraska for a grand total of $58 to my door (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/). The crossmember clears the shift linkage just fine.

Hi,
Sure is nice work. How does the engine's torque curve match up with the transmission? Do you feel it is overrevving on the freeway? I'm guessing you have stock final drive ratio? V-6 certainly seems to have the right "sound" for a 914. I had that V-6 in my '78 El Camino.. engine was great, but the emissions system and "intelligent" carb where a constant nightmare. |
