I'm baaaack.
Hi everybody. Maybe some of your remember me. I was very active on the 914 forums about ten years ago. I rebuilt my 1.7 fi 73 914 into a Dell Orto carbed, high compression, big cammed, 2.0 liter. Tom Gould, Wayne Dempsey, and I built the motor in Wayne's Manhattan Beach apartment garage. Gill Paszek helped me with the five lug conversion, and numerous other projects like a passenger footwell sub woofer. I also mounted BMW 320i front brakes, thru the body roll bars, and fuchs replicas. I had the engine compartment and body painted Gaurds Red. John Larson of West Coast Garage rebuilt my 901 tranny and helped me keep the car running, cause I drove it like I stole it. Driving the car was a blast for the past ten years. I blew the engine twice, once with a blown head gasket, and another dropped valve seat, (my second). EMS wanted $800 to fix the head this time, so I decided it's time. I've been wanting to do the six conversion for over ten years, so I'm finally going to do it. I actually started a few months ago. I thought I should do a conversion thread. Six conversion threads used to be very plentiful, but I don't see so many anymore. I would appreciate links, cause I'm gonna need a lot of information, advice, and of course, parts. Here is the car now, well I've removed the 2.0 liter motor.
