Here is a 3.0L motor for sale on the Bird!

3.0L Engine on Pelican Parts


8 Months with No Buyer seems weird to me.

I just bought a 3.2 running long block for $5k with a few extras. I just sold a 2.8 Complete Race Engine to Europe for over $35k

There is a pro on town who has done at least a couple of Subaru conversions on 914s.

I think that he may occasionally visit this board as well, his name is Brody, I think this: http://www.914sgonewild.com is his web site.

There is an older body kit still in the box, I don't plan on using it and I'm not sure he was either. I have spare parts as well including doors, quarter panels, seats, etc.

If we set up a gofundme account can we raise some money to have that body kit permanently destroyed? Or sell it to a Fiero guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Audi box for possible Chevy conversion by the previous owner..or he wanted to use an older Audi motor?

What's the general consensus on a V8 swap? Apparently there is a guy in SoCal who can complete a small block ford 302 swap for 10k roughly half the price of a six swap and I'm a big fan of the ford 302. What other shops do V8 swaps I'd like to speak to them as well.

A half-price six sound.

A 914 that sounds American.

And of course,the modern Wankel.

There are many other options,although the aircooled are limited to very few types.
Like selecting ice cream or paint colors,what do you like?

The only renegade stuff I see is Chevrolet, if I were to cut up a car for cooling I'd probably go V8. Mid engine V8 is pretty freakin awesome, any other shops specialize in V8 swaps?

You would have to find a shop that builds all kind of stuff, there is no shop that pays the bills doing Ford conversions. Kennedy Engineering will have the adapter plate and flywheel.


Don't discount some of the more modern V6 engines, shorter, lighter and still enough power to get you in a lot of trouble.

Yes, I'm sure if you offered obscene amounts of money they might change their mind.

I'm not going to pay an obscene amount in that case I'll go 3.2 or 3.6 I'm talking about a ford 302 for half the price. That means the rest goes towards brakes/suspension/wife wheel/fenders

I might be interested in taking that off your hands! I need an older audi transmission for my watercooled 1626 VW motor

If this car was your dads and its all original, I would just drive it for now and and build another motor on the side so you can keep the original motor on the side, or if the motor is already tired have it built up. I might get flamed for this suggestion, but you are literally in CB Performances' backyard....

All I can say is I believe my car has around 280hp and 260 ftlbs of torq. I run on the street with 225 nt-01 tire's. It feels matched perfectly, I can get on it in the turns, it hooks and gets. In an autocross it's hard to get traction though, needs something stickier. I feel like this is a great combo overall.

Do you have a preference on running a v8, v-6 or flat six? I would say to go with what ever motor you are most excited about and fits your budget. The subaru flat six seems to be a great balance for these cars. A v-8 is cool and I'm a v8 guy, but just doesn't seem right for a 914 to me. Although I wouldn't mind having one some day, to get a get a better feel for it.
