OK, I know this sounds waayyyy out there but back in 88 when I first saw the 914 with a v8 I quickly thought of framing it and putting it up front. I even went so far as asking several shops that build drag cars if it was possible. They all say anything is possible with $$$$.
My question is Has anybody done this and what do you think ? I know you can put any suspension you want here but with the weight so far forward now how will it compare to keeping the engine mid-mounted? Ian in Iraq...not much longer 19 days till Baghdad 31 days stateside 39 days till driving |

So, theres a really nice well built tube frame chassis with modern running gear and a nice small block v8 up front in a really small package. Now you have an entirely scratch built suspension with all new geometry because the old stuff wont even work. THEN you put a 914 body on it? With 914 aero on a car with new dynamics? This just doesnt make any sense to me. |
