I purchased a Renegade repowered 914. I am considering installing a crate engine, and I would appreciate it if anybody has the manual or the instructions published by Renegade. Thanks.

dick here is a quote on another thread from dunc. seems he has a non or poorly running 307.
"Based on the valve covers, mine is definitely pre 86. The block is a p.o.s 283. Crank is 327. So the motor is a sucky 307. Heads are refurbished. I have a 901 xmssn, which I plan to upgrade with heavier duty axles. I figure the xmssn will be good for 330hp with the heavier axles. So the plan is to just get a crate motor. My concern all along has been about any mods that must be done to the replacement engine before installing it. I will stay in contact. Thanks again for the help. Dunc " |

ALL 307s have the 283 bore and the 327 stroke. I was also unsure of why he needed the Renegade instructions if it was just a 1/1 exchange of one SBC for another. If that's all it is...a 350 to replace a 307....should be pretty simple. |

It runs ok, but I think that a 327 or 350 is the better alternative. I haven't heard anybody say that any mods to the engine are necessary, so I assume it is a straight swap out. By the way, I never heard a $ amount for the 283. Did I miss something? With that said, this conversation seems more in line with the Garage Forum, so as any more questions occur, I will start a thread on that forum. |
