Hi everyone...I am new to the 914 world although not new to Porsche's. I have owned 3 944's and actually loved every one of them. I came across a craigslist ad for a v8 914 and well.....here it goes.. wish me luck ...any and all input is appreciated.
This engine is just set in place as mock up only...thats actually a 1966 283 out of a ChevyII I dont know why this radiator is where its at...going to get a race aluminum in the front lots of work to do here.. will have lots of parts to sale off of this project definitely going to need some more space for 12 inch wide tires..so probably won't look like this when i'm done |
