Well many of you know that I sold 1 of my 914-6s. I sold it with 2 engines and since it's going across country, the original motor needed to be in the car vs spending big bucks to ship on a crate.

Steve Gaglione took one look at the motor and the empty trunk and said "T.C. there's no way that's going to fit". I told him it's going in. I should have bet the lunch tab on it.

now take a -6 and rear engine mount it, use an AWD differential and tie them together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) instead of the rear of the trans being an output, make it another input and drive the rear wheels into oblivion. I see a quad turbo Veyron killer in someone's future (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Run a prop off the front one, if nothing else it will make it easier to pass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Remember, the 914 was originally designed to be a front engine car.
