Some mods,and a scraper,with 916 style diverters.
Hmmm..what will I do next?A stretch and a raising of the rear trunkline.
To make room.

just buy a 904 body and ..... there was a show once called "chop cut rebuild"

[veekry9]

I looked at a few episodes,when possible,liked the show and the work done.



Purchase a windscreen from Pilkington.
http://www.pilkington.com/en-gb/uk/automot...-models/porsche
Then,create the surround and underlying cage structure.
The male plug for the molds,drawn in cad,machined in cam,polished to symmetry.
Later,if one wished,a sheetmetal skin could be pounded and wheeled out,because aluminum is light too.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=247031&hl=
A 904 replica or homage is a worthy endeavor,if done well.((Edit:08/12/16):The 904's windscreen looks pure sex on the 914's lower body,so well raked)
A drawing of a trial fit has inspired a 250LM comparision,and although flattering,the windscreen is the only similarity,and differently sized.
Neato,the smaller,narrower,904's glass and roofline makes the sectioned,stretched 914 bodyshell slicker.
A lot of work,the drawings the plan,and only the seed,or beginning,of a total custom.
With a pumped up P6 or H6,the performance would satisfy,briefly.
Go ahead,resurrect a 914 near you,instructions can be found here on the World.

How the heck do you fit that thing in a 914????
--DD

Ferrari fit 'that thing'(the Columbo 3.3L V12),into a 250LM,with some well planned,(drawn),forethought.
The 250LM has a WB 50mm(2") shorter than the 914,so,it is a tight squeeze.

Well,I raised the rear trunkline,widened the fender at the rear wheel,
and generated a creaseline that fades in as it goes forward,from the top of the fender,fading out toward the rear of the front wheel opening lip.
The top of the front fender has been given a more pronounced curvature that fades into the top of the doorskin,a subtle hint of TR,Pininfarina.
Similar to what I did to the metallic blue stretch.

Soon to be scooped,a huge character change,from mild to wild.
Still maintaining the 914 targa curve,modded.

You have mad photochop skills. But I'm with the previous thoughts: Too much sail swoop. A couple of the real pics posted look better. Just a $.01, not critical. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

[veekry9]

Gimp.
Very much a newbie with the software,functions easily enough for my needs,quick.
What's great is the programmable functions,for custom effects.
Used as a front end for cadcam and blender,versatile.

What is the 'swoop'you speak of? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Is what you are describing,actually a 'curve'? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Machined,by spline(nurb) interpolation,molds,dies,and various other light and heavy metals,and composites.
Decades of the work,never heard anyone describe a 'swoop',tho I have seen a Red Tail Hawk swoop for a mole.

Wilder,needs a wing and a scraper.

OK.here's the plan..
Get 2 sets of cases,and weld them together after machining the front and rear off each respective set.
Front 2 and rear 2.Makes a long case to carry 8 cylinders.
Look,if the guy in Aus can weld magnesium cases,it would have to be easier to do the same to 356 T6 alloy cases.
Marginally easier admittedly,but possible to achieve the exalted F-8.
Fun with TIG,in an oven,inert gas flushed...

Although not as ultra cool, you needn't physically join the engines. I grew up in Seattle where they imported a lot of foreign. An informal drag strip was down by Shilshole Bay. I would swear there were stories about a VW beetle with twin engines. One mounted in the passenger compartment. Getting the power of the second engine to the ground might be tricky with a 914.

So,a tight squeeze for sure,some good planning.
A primer for those welding their own frame,triangulation for stiffness.


Countach Chassis.The strength and stiffness is obvious,not a dainty bridge at all.
A well done set of girders at the hips,side intrusion 'beams',tough.

Fittipaldi had one.


Not to spoil the other aspect of producing the most beautiful fairy dust. I kinda think we aren't in PhotoShop anymore.

That frame makes me feel old. So pretty, and you end up crouched in one of the side trays. I would need a chain hoist to get in and out. Somewhere along the way my get up and go left. The matching work aligning the two cars is awesome.

Well,a 912 engine,being hard to come by,may be replicated with Two Subaru Tribeca Sixes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Well,I did purchase a 1:18 diecast model of the 250LM as a gift,some half dozen yrs ago.
But no,the intent was to trial fit the 914 with the sloped LeMans windsceen,as it has a more rounded profile.
*The 250 LM glass by the way,is only available to the owners of the original cars,factory,I believe.And pricey.*
(edit:07/23/16)Totally wrong on that,it is then,possible to meld a 250's windscreen onto a 914's chassis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
Gee,thanks,[sixnotfour],I would never have considered the proposal.*A wider,taller windshield,allowing more shoulder room.*
(edit:07/27/16):Well,after some measurements,it is the 904's windscreen that is taller,the 250's is wider and more sloped.
http://www.pilkington.com/en-gb/uk/automot...-models/ferrari

But,the Lancia Stratos windscreen is a piece that is not too dear.
Way rad.

NO

[veekry9]

Yes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
250LM=914-8,a comparison I never considered,because it's ludicrous,as demonstrated above.
Pretty extreme concept,huh?This one is the Stratos glass,the roofline of the 914,lowered to meet the top of it.~50mm.
The A pillar is closely matched to the Stratos glass's trailing edge,changed to meet the taper to the top.
After all,many a 914 windshield is damaged,as is the chassis.A derelict rusted varmint nest,in a field,free.
Some consider the 914's bare bones as a starting point,a basic map on which to draw a path to a nirvana of one's preference.
The chassis,when lowered from the standard ride height,makes for altered suspension geometry,nasty at the edge.
Chopping,channeling,lengthening,bigblock,turbo,lpg,nitromethane,lakes,and more.
This is the pix,leave your preconceptions and dogmas behind when you enter here.Open your mind,start the Reactor.
Kick an idea or two,one of your own,that you made yourself,or not.
