I recently purchased a 72 914 in a big basket, but with a cherry body. I'm thinking of putting a subie engine in it , but I would like to take a look at one already completed. Any in the SF Bay Area that I could take a look at?
Been on different websites and seen some Renegade conversions but would like to see the real deal and find out how much aggro is really involved. Email me at hansenjoel@yahoo.com or phone 415/516-8217 (cell). Thx. JH |

Mine hauls ass, looks great and it is reliable as hell. Gets decent gas mileage ~30mph. If you do this swap, I highly recommend Crawford performance located in Oceanside California to tune the engine and ECU. I easlily break the back loose wherever I want. This week, I ran a modified Trans-Am (the one with the tunnel ram scoops the last year they were made). He passed me on the highway blipped the throttle to let me know he wanted some. I downshifted to 3rd at about 80mph and floored it. The trans-am could not pull me. He was impressed enough to roll down his window and give the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) and told me how fast my car is. Pretty funny to put a pretty fast car in its place with an old 914 with a 4 cylinder!
