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 |

I drove Fiids Suby 2.0(?) turbo a few months ago, currently non-intercooled and guessimated to have about 180 hp....
With another person riding shotgun , the car just flat out hauled and was a blast to drive...sound at idle was nice and at WOT was music to the ears and not obnoxious at all...compared to my 911 with a 3.6 in it, I would bet they would be neck to neck against each other depending on the challange.. I've driven 3.0 (and smaller) /6 conversions and a few V8 conversions (up to 400hp) and I really enjoyed the Subaru conversion and would use that motor over any other current water cooled engine if I went that route.... |
