I will be the first to admit that I know NOTHING about V8 conversions, but am always willing to be educated.

This particular "car" doesn't send off any rockets for me, though it is interesting & apparently well thought out.

But, how much has been invested in this car? Strikes me to be a LOT. So, why do something like this if you can't possibly expect to recoup even half your cost? And, your resale market is unbelievable restrictive (I guess?).

So....why not keep the thing Porsche? You want more poop? Put just about anything Porsche in it (my preference would be a 3.0 - simple & enough hp for me), even a 3.6. Do it yourself & do it right, and you'll still have a market for the 914 when you want to sell. No, you won't recap your costs, but it's a car - not a house.

Or, am I being naive here?
