Although I'm listed as a newbie I am not new to 914's.I have 5.I currently am working on a 1971 .My 5 lug conversion is half complete[front] and sway bar installed.I have decided to go with a V8 instead of a porsche 6 cyl.It appears less expensive to build a V8 car.Has anyone dealt with Reddawg racing on a V8 conversion.

Done right neither conversion will be cheap. The ads all call the conversions as cheaper way to fly. Not if you want to do it right.

The one benefit to a six conversion is it is all Porsche and it could have a higher resale. Plus there is a bigger market for a 914-6 although that is probably not that big of a deal.
