Hello everyone,
I've been a lurker for a while but never posted. I have a 1972 914 1.7 which I was thinking about selling but I don't really want to. Lately I've been thinking about doing a V8 conversion. I do need to replace the longs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) but the rest of the car seems okay. I know I would need to upgrade the brakes and suspension but they are pretty whipped and need to be gone over anyway. Here are some photos of the car: http://www.9000turbo.com/914/914.htm I am aware of Rod Simpson and Renegade. I have been reading all the posts I can find. This will have to be a long term project as I am restoring a 1985 Saab SPG right now. What would I be able to sell for oringal part sto help off-set. I have the motor which runs well but need pushrod tube seals. I have a petronix ignitor. It has the original FI. The 2.0L wheels. I have SS heat exchangers. Let me know what you think. I would appreciate any thoughts. Stephen |
