Browsing Ebay today and I find this car. For obvious reasons I have to look. It claims he has a corvette motor and corvette transmission. So, I am thinking he didnt build the car and really has no clue what is in it. What do you think? Can a GM trans be put in a 914?

I thought it took a pretty tight shroud to keep these things cool?
