Hey all,

I'm a contributing editor of Driving Sports magazine, which is a relatively new, nationally distributed automotive publication. I am also a long-time Rotary Engine fanatic and run a web site called Rotary Engine Illustrated. Anyway, in looking for an interesting project car, I came across a Porsche 914 lacking an engine and transmission and basically left for dead. $100 cash. Seemed ideal for a conversion project, so that is what I am doing. Can't get into the details, but it will be pretty extreme. Look for the debut/intro in the March issue. I'll probably be hanging out here a bit and asking some newbie questions in the mean time. Also, does anyone have links to existing rotary engine 914 conversions? BTW, I am aware of the Kennedy adapters, but will probably do something custom. Thanks.
