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 |

Thanks for the advice...the plenum of the intake is what I'm speaking of...not the actual manifold...thinking of a stealth ram or something similar and making my own plenum that actually turns a bit since the headers will be coming up and over where the distributor should be...I will be going coil packs so distributor will not be an issue. I plan a lot before I start a project...plan,dream...and what falls into place and comes to fruition maybe different than the inception of an idea but that's what keeps me going and drives me to be different. I love the sound of Italian supercars and the style and design that goes into them...it is like art and for me, I just go in the moment when it happens and if can group all my ideas into a build ... Awesome. I haven't been this excited about a project in quite some time, if you knew my friends they would tell you...He is a dreamer that lives in his dreams everyday...positive is his M.O. ...and he has a horseshoe up his ass.
