I did mine. "T" square, digital caliper, bench top drill press, jig saw and a router. Porsche 928 to 901. You are not going to get anymore minimalistic than that setup! The majority of people buy an adapter and flywheel from Kennedy Engineering or one of the handful of kit manufactures like Renegade. If you have to ask how to do it, pass and buy a kit. Rick didn't ask...he went outside, took measurements and started to make chips. Back to the question.... not Porsche, but I've made a Volvo engine to Chevy auto adapter and I am currently making these adapters....Volvo FWD 5 and 6 cylinder motors to be used with a Ford T5 Mustang transmission....still not sure what motor I want in my '73 914 that will need the bus motor replaced....however if I do some oddball conversion I'll make my own stuff. Bridgeport mill (CNC) and all the related stuff one has in a small machine/fabrication shop. What is the point of this adapter? Not knocking it, just curious seeing as I have an old p1800 wagon in the back. I already have a mint one.....have been wondering how to modernize the other one. Volvo Whiteblock front wheel drive motor for a rear wheel drive applications...S70 motor in a 245 or 122... would it work on the V8 motor from the volvo SUV too? Thinking about a turbo V8 p1800 wagon..... Rich Rich The v8 is a Yamaha engine and I think is different from volvos white motors. I've converted several b20 cars to the b230ft. They go like hell. Contact me if you want more info, it's a great swap using a time proven engine. You'd wanna go to at least an m46 trans. I tore up 6 m41s with my first swap. Best, Erik I'd be interested in one of those volvo adapters? |

The OP never got his project off the ground, he bought a subi /6 core, but he's been trying to sell both the 914 and the engine for the last several months on Kijiji (like craigslist).
