So the 75 I bought has a motor that needs rebuilt. Trying to decide If I should screw with it. I will be pulling my current v8 setup out of my 70. It is getting replaced with an LS1 this winter. I had the turn key v8 setup up for sale. Be easier to sell it in a car. I have everything to do it. Just not sure I want too.

I was going to do a poll but blew it. What would you do? I am digging the all black 914

dumb question!!!

Rebuild it. Will be easier to sell as a stock car than a conversion car.

Have to agree. The reason to do a conversion is the extra fun it is to drive the car, not the resale.

V8

Rebuild it if you plan to keep the car. Find a running 4 and install if you plan to sell. Give the buyer the original case if they want it.

Rebuild

wrong year for a V8...rebuild and sell...jmo

Since I live in Cali land of the restricted, rebuild. Any else, V8 and or big -6

Rebuild the 4. The black helps hide the big bumpers.

turbo subie !!!

75 is smog exempt in CA

Ah crap, not another Wasserpumper ....

A well done V8 conversion is a joy to behold. (Computers for kids). A convenience conversion sounds like a recipe for Yuckfoo... Do not cook that shizit up!

Yeah we will see. There is no rush to do anything with it. Just thinking my current v8 setup needs to go somewhere. So it is an option. I'll have to see on a rebuild. Or I may just sell it & let someone else do it

If I had your problem, I'd put that leftover v8 in it.

I would give the LS1 to a friend , keep the v8 in the 70 and enjoy it as is, and then rebuild the black one (please don't cut it up).
My two cents

give the LS to a friend......

hey friend, we are friends right!!!????

This car does have some hell hole rust. Bottom of the long has a hole at the back. I think I am leaning towards selling it as is. I need to spend my time on my LS1. Someday I am bound to get smarter & stop bringing all these projects home
