New here and need some help 914/8 Chevy 350 refurbish, Cleaning up and refurbishing 1973 914 - 350 converted car Options

[Daryl32]

So just a hello and introduction.

I am Daryl - sorta old and have been working on cars since 1969. Mostly Chevy's and Dodge's - then a 30 years or so I got my first taste of German engineering with a BMW E21 320i we were given as our Dd died on us.

So I am here because a friend of a friend needed help with a project. We thought it just needed some carb work and a couple of leaks sorted out.

The project have taken on the project of working out some issues with a chevy 350 converted 1973 914, the conversion is most likely 10 plus years old. I believe the kit is a Renegade kit.

Some of the issues were it bleeds fluid very where the tranny and engine can. Most of the leaks have been addressed and stopped "I hope".

Heads were replaced because both were cracked.
New Holley carb will go on with new intake with square bore pattern for more choices in carbs.

New electric water pump

Lots of bent and rusty parts blasted and powder coated or replaced.

Now that all this is done I need to fix the wiring and try to put it all back together.

I can find lots of pictures of Chevy v8's from the top seating in the cars, But I could use some good pictures of the bottom of the car.

Shiftier issues I need to address.
Fuel line placement to carb
Thorttel cable placements with carb facing forward.
Where did you run your wiring harness to the engine bay?

I am sure I will have more questions by the day.









May work bench - sorta.
