Double overhead cammed aluminum V8.
Why? Why not? Ebay link with details just seems to be an interesting, smooth running engine with decent power to weight, and it spins fairly high (6200 RPM's) fun applications http://1uzfe.com/rick.htm http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=9434.40 |

thank you paul and bob for your two cents. =-)
if you have any infor and/or pics to support this swap i'd love to see them. I remeber Mueller sayign something about these motors and i'm curious if he knows anymore than what i've read already. these motors have a certain level of reliability that i really like and broad torque, smooth power, and top end. =-) heck, i know i'll only drive my 914 on nice days and evenings and will put few miles on her except for the occasional road trip. a radical cammed SBC is one kind of engine I can apreciate. but it is a hand full to drive. i still shake a little after driving her aroud the neighborhood. LOL a strong, smooth, injected, reliable engine is the next step for me, i think. inexpensive is even better. my thinking is low maintance daily driver. |
