is there another way to attach a sway bar on a 914 other than the lower shock bolts? i think i see a sway with red poly bushings, right?

IMHO, that's a chevy starter.

a 283 with that much HP has got to be a high winder; hence the fried clutch mentioned in the details. =-)

exhaust crossovers usualy are reserved to increase low to mid torque... i wonder if that was put in after the guy drove it and realized he had to keep the RPM's up to get off the line.

i know the next engine i build will be a mid-range torque setup. not so dang high.... LOL live and learn.


poly blocks?

musy be a weltsheister.... or an old H and H bar

I wonder where the 380 horsepower claim comes from? Has it been on a dyno or is it just a dream. I'll bet that combo would not break 200 hp on a honest rear wheel dyno.

Rogger.. My I dont think that that engine will produce that much hp... Look at the quality shown.. thats not a pure race engine.. a 630 holly wont flow that much hp... AND that trani will in NO WAY hold that much hp... especially with good tires like that.

I also doubt that he's having problems with low end tq... Are you haveing low end tq problems? I got a big cam, but Im still making enough tq to light up my tires off idle...

Sway bar needs to be attached to the suspension some how... You could weld a tab to the control arm and put any sway bar with drop links on it... If your tab is strong enough and the sway bar fits.. Thats a stock style sway bar mount... And yes, those look like red poly "energy" or some off brand bushings..

PS

You got mail!

Bob... It depends on what heads and valvetrain he's got on it... If they support high rpm flow.. then he could have 300hp rwhp no problem... Heck I had 240rwhp and 275 tq with a holley 650 and smog (im talking really smog) heads... Then I put on fuel injection and picked up a bunch of top end and a at least 50ft tq down low..

So would the painted rubber on the bumpers flake off when they get bumped parking the car? That is the first time I have ever seen blue smurf tube used in the engine compartment of a 914. E

Anyone know anything about the cooling setup?
The radiator has to be laying down pretty far to fit like that. I assume air intake through front bumper and out the bottom? Not a lot of room for ducting and fans.
Wish there was a photo with the front trunk emptied out.

I believe the radiator is on the floor. with a push fan, and ducting from the bumper.

Just like I said a dream............I'm still with less than 200 on a true rear wheel dyno.

Why is it that so many V8 conversion guys completely ignore suspension and brakes? If any 914 needs a totally wicked suspension and brake upgrade its a V8.

This car looks like all go not much turn or stop.
