When I wrote into the SAABnet forum, asking for advise on installing cool side-pipes on my '68 Sonett, I was stoned severly. I'm hoping the purists of you will please excuse the following "imagine if" question, as I seriously would like to know...
Could the entire engine + automatic trans. from an early '80s VW Van be easily fit to my 1970 914/4? "Easily" might not be the right word...maybe "possible"? I know there have been Subaru engine swaps onto Porsche 5 speed but could an Subaru automatic transmission + engine be adapted to Porsche axle? What-ever process and combination of parts...Does anyone know if there have been successful AUTOMATIC 914 projects? Thanks.
