I'm currently scheming on my motor rebuild for my 914. I don't have a lack of ideas to spend my money. I know of 8 engines including mine in various states that I can get a hold of to stuff in.
If I go to a bigger motor (3.4 or 3.6) what do I need to reinforce in my 914's chassis to handle the added torque? I've got the trans covered...If I go big I'll go big on the gearbox also (can you say WEVO, close ratio!)..... $$$$$$$$ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Of course I can stay with my 2.7 / 901 combo for another fun season...and that may happen to get the car up again before the end of this year...but I may just buy one of these bad boy large motor longblocks and have fun during the winter.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Any suggestions on bracing? Pics? Thanks, Bill P. |
