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 |

Well the diesel cars are getting older and being parted more and more now, so it should be easier than 5 years ago..

I have an Audi (TDI) 01E 6 speed in my LS1 conversion. Yes, first gear is short, but it works well for me since my driveway entering the garage is rather steep. The rest of the raios are quite good, with 2400RPM @ 70MPH in 6th. Strength wise I can't say, but the GT40 replica guys in OZ claim they run 500HP SBF without issue. Andys |
