Porsche 914 - 8 GTT, October '26 Update Options

[MATTYLITE]

Hello 914 community,

Just wanted to let you all in on a 914 build to remember. This car was initially thought out on a napkin sketch, and has slowly been coming to life. The idea behind this project is simple, how would Porsche go about creating a 914 cup car today? Well, hopefully when the build is done, it'll meet our racing derived expectations that only a manufacturer like Porsche could (re) produce.

Brief Technical Specs (will list more as the build progresses):
-1974 Porsche 914 fully assembled by MSDSinc.

-Cayenne V8 TT 5.0 litre, derived from 2010 Daytona Prototype engineering, built by Lozano Brothers Porting (1000 / 1100 whp)

-Porsche 996 GT2 Transmission, built by California Motorsports

Some of you may ask why, we asked why not?


Enjoy,
Matthew Schneider

Don't know why I started cleaning this, it'll be replaced with new sheet metal fit for the Cayenne TT engine

What the engine will 99.9% look like when finished, and yes this is the 2010 Daytona Prototype (and Cayenne V8 all motor) winning car that you were just trying to remember.

@NorCalScott , my neighbor's engine shop has an Allstar pre-oiler and I'll give this a whirl with 1 quart or 2 of oil. After the pre-oil, I can also spin the engine on 'Starter motor; and just shut off spark and fuel pump.
Pump belt removal + drill motor spinning always available too.

Thanks Marty. Seems like every time you post updates, I learn something new.

I first heard of the Pre-oiler trick on @tygaboy Chris 914 Ferrari thread, then set out to grab the tank from Summit.
Then while having a cup of Java over at the engine shop, the guys said "You mean this tank over here?"
Good neighbors ¡
