QUOTE(second wind @ May 22 2019, 09:35 AM)  What's a nickie? gg Steel finned cylinders cast over alloy sleeves and Nicasal bore coating ….think that's right. Superior heat transfer over solid cast iron barrel,Porsche did this on there higher HP six cylinder motors and later on with the 944/968 and 928 water pumpers. |

This is what I would build that car into. Engine is up to the end user, but I'd probably go STi tuned to 400hp with a Subaru 6MT.

QUOTE(horizontally-opposed @ May 21 2019, 11:38 AM) QUOTE(914_teener @ May 21 2019, 11:33 AM) I'm with Pete. Do a small six and keep the car as stock as possible, with one exception.......with nobody wanting to buy a 718 new...just wait a few years and you have a 400 HP car with AC for half the price with a 4 banger. Why got through all the effort to put it in a 914. IMHO. One reason, as your logic is irrefutable: Because a 718 is 700-1000 pounds heavier than the 914 I am thinking of with the same engine (and, I think, better looking to boot). I suspect it would be a blast. Ideal mid-engined combo for me would be a 987.2 Boxster S or Spyder (or Cayman S or R) 6MT with all the comforts and then a wild 914 hot rod. I think the 987.2 is going down the route of the 914-6, meaning desirable and they didn't make a lot of em. As far as the OP, there is nothing like the sound of a flat six. |

Restoration Design. I fear things will get worse as you dig deeper. Buy an ice pick and probe away.

Upon closer examination, looks like JB Weld at the bottom.

yeah that is bad
call 914ltd if you don't care if it is not stock under the rockers, other wise you'll need to get pieces from restoration design, this is assuming that you have the skills or are willing to learn the skills to restore this car. |
