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 |

Wow...you guys been busy...lol...jut getting in from my shop.been a long week and have a lot to finish before this weekend. Andyrew...I have decided I will make my own intake...carbon fiber...exhaust will be an 8-1 straight to a single t4 flange and so on...the motor in the pic above is my test one to put in the 914 while the 283 is being built...I hear you guys talking about Audi and Subaru tranny's...are they strong enough for 5-600hp 4-500tq?
I have also gone down the rabbit hole of a flat plane 180 degree crank...as I am a compcams dealer I thought it appropriate to ask myvrep about having a can made...well let's just say if you don't need 20 of them made at once it's like giraffe ass....way up there. $2500...Bryant crankshafts can do the crank...about $4500...so flat plane dream has taken off without me. But I did purchase a nice tig today and should have it by next week! |
