Hey guys!

I bought a 914 earlier this week!

(IMG:http://www.smallwonderdesigns.com/2.jpg)

It's a 74 2.0L with a 2056 in it. I will be selling the 2056 and installing the 2270cc (78.4x96) that I have installed in my Bug. It should be a cool ride!

Here's a video of me in the Bug seating the rings on the 2270... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Glad to be a part of the 914 bunch! These are great cars to drive! I'm hooked already!

Later,
Tom

I love that slant, it's like confused's black one.. I love the color.

Want to buy some rockers? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

How much you want for the motor? I need one! I just had to remove my 2.0 for a re-rebuild @ 4800miles, and had taken my other car apart.. I don't even have a ride.

0-2 ain't good..

It's New Beetle Yellow - the camera doesn't really pick up the color.

I took the Bug auto-xing this past weekend and I was hooked. I fell upon the chance of buying this car on Monday and did the deal Wednesday. Yikes, it still hasn't kicked in yet!

I like the slant nose too - I just need to get some blinkers up front. I'm thinking of something behind the horn grills.

Redshift, contact me via email if you are interested in the motor.

Tom

Cool video !! Welcome... I have a bug and teener, too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I just went to check out the status of my bug. Dude keeps putting it off. I figured if I showed up, I could tear him a new one in person. No such luck... I f'in fell in the parking lot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) GODDAMMIT !! Cut my head, and never saw my bug. Wife went in to see it. She said that they haven't done shit ??
WTF (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Do I have a frickin' tatoo on my forehead that says Take Advantage Of Me ??

Welcome Tom,
I've been following your advice on the TYPE4FORUM for sometime now. Glad you're here, you can share your 2270 info with us.

Glad to see you've got something to put that engine in.

Hey everybody, this guy knows type IV's.

tom, did you use a dtm in the bug? 2056 tranplant to the bug? what's the plan for fan/cooling in the 914? your video was the first i had seen/heard with a transplant when you posted at stf. welcome to 914world.com.

Brad,

Yes, I'm from the STF, I had a primer Grey 61 bug that was destined to have the 2270 in it, then I bought the 63 Bug (and I sold the 61) which took the 2270 in it. Now, the 63 is up for sale and the 2270 goes into the 914.

Yeah, that motor gets around!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I can't wait to see what she'll do with the bigger motor. This 2056 that's in it purrs like a kitten - the 2270 roars like a LION!

Later,
Tom

Raby put you up to this... correct ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

He needed someone to infiltrate this BBS.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)


Welcome.. I saw that car up for sale on Ebay.

The only thing I didnt like was the slant nose.. it means the car was in a wreck at some point and they decided to chop the fenders off instead of fixing them properly (pure speculation on my part) but few people customize there 914's unless they have insurance money..LOL

Kevin,

I used DTM cooling for the Bug. The 2056 can be sold without cooling, with cooling (the DTM) or stuck in the Bug for a whole package deal.

I will be using the stock cooling for the 914 which should be plenty. Jake has been running a 2316 with much more C/R in his 914 with no problems.

Exhaust is the big question...

Tom

Brad,

First post here and you're busting my balls.... LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I personally like the slant nose, I just need to do something for blinkers up front.

I'm still at a loss for what I want to do for the front, I kinda like it, sometime I don't. Maybe it will grow on me.

But, I think a 5 lug conversion with SC struts and Fuch's all around is in order. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Tom
