New Guy & 70 V8 914 build, Introduction Options

[drive-ability]

I am new to the 914 club and new to Porsche in general. I guess I only own 1/2 a Porsche really! This one I didn't start but am glad to have. The car has all Renegade conversion parts, a 400 plus HP Chevy V8 with Edelbrock heads and port fuel injection. The motor is fresh and still needs a lot of work. The transmission is a 930 built by Renegade, and the suspension and brakes are all 930. I have never driven or driven in a 914 of any kind tho I have has a few fast sports cars. I spent 20 years working for General Motors dealers as a drive-ability / fuel injection specialist, so I know a bit about how cars work. My last car was a 93 Twin turbo Mazda Rx7 with about 300 hp but didn't like the engine package with its low torque rotary turbo engine. Its great to see these cars around and looking sweet. Almost 30 years ago I saw a V8 914 and always wanted to build one. John Irvine Ca.
