It even has side inlets,
the wheelarches look unique enough.
All that's missing is a proper targa bar.
2008 model showcar.
Does this appeal to any 914 owners?

There are so many details that appeal.
When shaving the siglamps,most don't retain them.
Rolling the rockerpan looks right.
I even like the colour.

Get 2 engines,cut and rejoin to build a bigger better engine of your dreams.
What could you do with a 9L 90* Ford V-12?
What could you do with a 4-5L 32 valve flat-8?

Found a link to an old thd here:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...amp;hl=beck+gt1
2006-2012 jump,a brief interlude.
so yeah,a lot of discussion of the same idea.
also found the address of Mr Lind of Sweden.

If it wasn't such a boat anchor, the air cooled Tatra 8 would be cool

In Europe,the Tatra aircooled V8 has been used for many unique projects.

Q
However, Tatra came up with some very special concepts and innovations under the hood as well. Which technical details were most significant?
Ivan Margolius: The lightweight air-cooled rear engines V8 and flat 4, swiveling headlights, swing axles, forced fan-assisted cooling and flat undersides.
Q

Haven't looked into the aftermarket for these engines,if it exists.

Incredibly,snuggled into the behind.
So yeah,with some careful measurement and mods,one could slip right in to your 914,smoothly.

A great idea,now,where is that flat -8,pushrod even.
To accommodate said long-block,a wb stretch would make a perfect fit.
