So I want another 914-6 after a ten plus years lapse of ownership. The issue is that I am over 50 now and want a 6 the wife and I can enjoy taking for long rides on the weekends.
I am going to probably put a stock 997 3.6 motor in it and have, since reading the article in Excellence, been considering the PDK transmission......if it would fit. Does anyone here have a clue if that is even a likely option? Thoughts are appreciated and yes, I know how much fun it is going through the gears, with or without a clutch. This is a project that I hope to start about one year from now and I want to have a pretty good idea of what the car is going to be before I begin the actual project. The other big issue is I am really stuck on buying a "914" vin car so that I have a true six. The conflict I have is knowing I am going to swap out the original engine and transmission (if the one I end up buying has the original units) and add factory GT flares and some other goodies to make it a comfortable ride. I would like to know general feelings about doing that with a "914" vin opposed to a "4" vin. Please don't flame me for thinking out loud. |
