The only reason I can think of is the title.

Designing, building and tuning a chassis from scratch would be a herculean task for just one person. Building around a proven chassis makes perfect sense.

I think the back handed compliment of my previous post was that what to many of us would consider herculean...he wouldn't

Punked,or not.I made wire screens for the air intakes today and some other small stuff.They are removable from the inside.Working on moving the air scoops closer to the body.They are midsize between the early and late models,in my opinion.The 914 chassis is perfect for a build like this and keeps it Porsche ??Makes it simpler to get license plates on it if I want to drive it...

Did the cars originally have a screen in there? I wouldn't know. What purpose do the scoops serve? I used a screen almost exactly like that in front of my oil cooler in the front of my track car. It was so extremely restrictive that my oil temps were way too hot. Like 250*F! I would have to get off the track. I removed the screen and the temp dropped 40*F my next runs. I ended up making another screen with material that had 1/2" openings that has done it job extremely well without causing any noticeable restrictions.

You are right,Krieger.I have seen one pic of the inside of the original 904 hood, and it was a hole with a 3-4" diameter.
This engine is going to be driven in a cold climate and gets air through the grille,airscoops on top and sides.Should be enough...I'm running a oil temp instrument to be sure. No race tracks here BTW.Attached Image

No race tracks in Norway. Can you tell us what the penalties are for speeding in Norway?

I live up north in rural Norway and haven't gotten any speeding tickets for some time....I'm an old Ford guy,you know.Last time I got one it saved my life.Driving at night with my -32 Ford in southern Norway I was awakened by the blitz light from the automatic speed camera.
Did some job on the nose. I'm looking for a 914 trunk light....the Samba people won't send out of USA....anyone have a spare??

I checked my boxes and sadly I cant find it. I replaced mine as the glass had a small crack in it but I thought I'd kept the old one still.

Had a great Calvados hangover today,so I skinned the other door and pushed El Cheapo outside so I could sweep over the workshop floor.The woman living next door said it was looking fine.So then its approved around here,at least.
