1)-- Bret W. I was thinking along the lines of the Pontiac V6 60 degree DOHC engine. But explain how a lot of the desert racers, i.e. Baja racing, are using 2.8L engines even though they are highly modified ?

2)-- I found a good source of info while surfing tonight. The web page is called www.forums.corner-carvers.com It has a lot of useful information that could be used in 914's . (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) 3)-- Has anyone done any business with Desert Hybrids down in Tuscon Arizona ? If so , how would you grade them ? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/piratenanner.gif) 1)-- "addendum" - Please explain how some goombah in a Porsche 944 couldn't lose me in my Fiero with a V6 2.8L boat anchor engine on a 1.5 mile twisty road here in the Memphis area ??? Oh the Fiero had only a 4 speed tranny in it . Yeah, that's it , it must've been the tranny .
