I post every so often in the what did you do to your 914 today thread. Figured I would start a separate thread and have some accountability to get this done.
My car is a 72 which along the way I have swapped the original 1.7 engine out for a 2.0 with DJET & a side shift gearbox. The plan is to convert to a 1974 2.7 liter six with webers. Along the way I need to do some rust repair - which will be a helluva lot more challenging than the engine swap. Here's what I am starting with. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Travis I would screw a bunch of 2z4s in a stack to do it, then shim the bottoms with metal plate.
Easy and sturdy This seemed to work also, but not sure I would trust my rotor to hold the car up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Just wondering on the carbs, as I tend to over think this stuff, and figure somebody would know who might deal with elevation changes more than I do. Just don't want to setup the car drive to Georgia for Okteenerfest and hate the drive due to miss behaving carbs. Also I can say Tangerine Racings shift rod is a thing of beauty, yes it can be made, sometimes I prefer to support the vendors that support the community. That is why I would got your mount from Rich, Maddog, or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Forgot his name (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and the oil tank from Ben. Spread the love to the guys trying to make my life easier. And yes I have purchased items from PMS also, so I get it. High quality pretty easy to deal with. completely get that idea. |
