Has anyone ever taken a 911 C4 power train and modded it to fit a 914 chassis? Could something be done to send power to the front wheels even though it would be mid engined? Perhaps a new project idea???

To do it effectively... you'd have to raise the chassis up in reference to the driveline. There is no "tunnel" to really speak of on a 914 chassis to run a driveshaft in between the front and rear wheels. Then comes the question of engine placement. You'd have to mount it like the 911s because the engine is mounted behind the trans, instead of in front on our cars.

Wouldn't it just be easier and more economical to do a body conversion on a 964 C4, or 993 C4?
