last year when i purchased my widebody kit from roger sheridan he told me that paul tracey contacted him. tracey had 3 917 engines and wanted to put one into a 914 and use his body work. not sure if there was any further development. tracey definately has the money and the resources.

I bet it would fit.

The rear suspension would be moved back, because the trani would have to go back a LOT...Unless of course you lengthened the engine compartment..

Wow! I just took a look at the specifications on those engines from 917 stats. Over 600 hp normally aspirated. Over 1100 hp turbocharged! What are those things worth? Anyone have a reference? My guess is 50K at least each.

That's ironic, all that fine and expensive german metal on a cheap Chinese Harbor Freight engine stand.

Well I dont know if the flat 12 would fit, but the factory did put in the 908 in two cars....and I'll bet it would bolt right up.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Hey we even know of the perfect prototype chassis it could be mounted too.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Heard a 917 run? Sounds like some 914's.


































about 200 of 'em in a tunnel (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) No way that could run at Laguna today..

I bet you could buy a piston set and distributor cap with that much, and have enough left over to treat yourself to some Taco Bell.

Yeah. I "speculate" that the engine is worth as much as the whole car.

And the distributor caps only go for 2500 each. The special sparkplug wires and the platinum plugs are the REAL expensive pieces. They cost a thousand bucks to replace a few times each season IN '75!!!

If my 914 had one of those motors in it, I'd never park it, and I'd sleep less than 10 feet away with a shotgun.

Interesting thread on the aircooled 911 Bird Board about the recovery of a bunch of missing and recovered Vasek Polak engines (including 917's) that will be on display at a charity event next weekend at Pelican hdqtrs - wish I was closer; I'd go for sure.
