Subject line says it all. I am researching Porsche vehicles with 8 cylinder engines. Wondering if an 8 was ever installed into a 914 - from the factory. I have heard rumors that this happened once or twice on special vehicles for Porsche family. Wondering if it is true, and if there any specs on the car(s)?

Only prototypes in a museum. None went to production. Google it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thank you guys so much. I am having a blind bourbon tasting at my place tomorrow with the KY region of PCA. Should be about 40 of us.

I have eight different bourbons and all will be poured into unmarked vessels, so folks will have to vote blind. Each of the vessels will be labeled with a different Porsche 8 cyl car (907, 908, 909, 914 (thank you), Panamera, Cayenne, etc). So after the vote based on car number, I will reveal the bourbons (Makers Mark always wins, I don't know why).

Should be a good time...

If you get, or can beg/borrow/steal a copy of 000 magazine, the 914-8 was covered in the very first volume as I recall. Up at Rennsport I met the photographer who worked on that piece.

Great party idea. What do you use to clear your palette after trying each one? Brats?

Yes, Brats with German style potato salad and red cabbage. The only 914 here will be mine, most club members are water cooled these days, but still a good time. This is our fourth year, always first weekend in October.

All are invited. It is a good time.

It's not a V8. It's a four cam FLAT 8

I've seen this exact photo numerous times but beside the obvious differences I just noticed flares (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Tires appear stock width????
