Ok, Porschefiles....
Use this thread to bash non-Porsche powered 914's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |

My opinion is - it's your 914! Do what you wish with it.
Put a subbie, chebby, Ford, Ferrari in it (now THAT would be interesting). I'd lean towards staying away from motorcyles engines, though. Here's how you're helping us purists. Another potential classic removed from the nest. Once you've made all the chassis changes, you (or the subsequent sap) can't go back without spending HUGE money. The car is as good as dead. Witness the Chevy engined 914 that's been on eBay for the last 3 months & can't get a bid above $1500. It's been bastardized. It's not a 914 - it's a nothing! Well, it WAS a money pit. So, have your fun. Reduce the saleable list, so our resale values can increase. Just seems a shame, since the money could have been spent actually INCREASING your resale value, instead of destroying it. However, you are free to do what you like with your, err 914. Those of us who are purists thank you for takingone more 914 out of the potential sale basket. Have fun! Waste your money! |

Very interesting - in one breath you tell us to do what we want and in the next breath you tell us we're wasting our money - is that judgemental or what!! Now tell us what you really think!
