There was a guy....on Ferrari chat.
Yeah.
A few years ago Hemming's Exotic Cars did a cover story on the 308GT4 as an economical way to get some Stallions.
(edit:05/07/16)"A few years ago"19 actually.

Bertone did a great job of integrating 4 seats and mid design transversely.The marketing department not so good.
Like the 914 the GT4 was shunned by the illuminati.Paul Frere did a R+T road test in Upper Michigan in '74 and loved the car.

Now stuffing a 400i V12 longitudinally and a modern 6-7 spd tapshift would wake it up.
The objective being to maintain the brand of the prancing horse.Add the turbos and water+nitromethane injection ..How fast?220MPH+ fer sure.

Hey,it does have a Can-Am engine.+Turbos!
The large vents under the trunk floor will allow the flow of the massive heat generated by the powerplant,feeding the low pressure area behind the car at speed.Turbulent air under the car is drawn out.
The width here is about as extreme as it should get.
Still possible to add GT flares of narrower dimension.
The reverse light is in factory position,the lens is merely wider by the widening amount.
Not the easy way this is.You would need a metal surgeon to hammer and dolly the added strips of sheetmetal.The shape of the trunkline rear of the targa defines the intersecting transverse curve.The beltline then is lower.Raising the trunkline would help a lot,giving a humpier,bulging curve to the rear top quarter,sorto like the latemodel Aston-Martins.
The focal length of the camera used foreshortens the image making it tricky to accurately sketch.

So..to shape some foam you first must use adhesive to attach it to the fenders.
Then use the above methods the achieve the shape you desire.
Modern epoxies and clothes are more suitable for insulation type polystyrene.
If you are making your own mudgards(flares) it's possible to design,fabricate
a unique look for your 914.
At some point in the work-up to the LeMan '70 someone cut a washtub in half
at the factory and said "yeah,that'll work".
Don't get me wrong.I like the look,they were the solution of the day for the fat wheeled Porsches,the 911 too.
The colour is very close to my own selection.

As you observe various auto designs,are you able to perceive rust and dents from a distance of 100 yds?
Sure,so it is entirely possible to detect the shape of the fenders of a 911RSR.
Expedient measures to cover the tires range from this to the shapely splined flanks of the 914.
The necessity drive the invention.

While you are designing , why not spring for some cool 911 headlight treatments , maybe some of the MB headlight setups to the turn signal locations ??? Do away with the flip ups , relocate the turn signals to another location ??? I've always wanted to install 911 headlights in that spot , just have to do some creative fab work , but with thesee fender widening on these pics it would be very doable , but however it's your project not mine , good luck to ya !!!
Jack
Always thought this was interesting....
Very Neat,I haven't seen that treatment before now.
At the time,the 'new"designers were transitioning away from the "headlamp sponson"look that had prevailed for the previous 20 yrs.
Hence the truncated headlamp turnsignal of the 914.
We enjoy the look today,but in '69, it was like,so different.
The simplicity of the slab-sided spline curves provide a surface on which to sculpt some detail,to make room for coolers and larger rubber.

Yeah,the amount of time to make the changes to the shapes of the curves has been reduced electronically.To bang metal requires the traditional amount.
I've considered a number of headlamp designs,and really like the clearlense 914 HID look a member here has done.(edit:05/03/15 neo914-6)
As I go further,I am becoming more inclined toward a Boxster trioval shape.I agree the flip-ups now look more redundant.
A work in progress,although the raised trunk-line does it for me,transforming the 914's simple splinecurves into an aggressive look that appeals with the massive airscoops.
The GIMP software allows fast work in concept visualization.

What could you do with a 9L 90* Ford V-12?
What could you do with a 4-5L 32 valve flat-8?
Found a link to an old thd here:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...amp;hl=beck+gt1
2006-2012 jump,a brief interlude.
so yeah,a lot of discussion of the same idea.
also found the address of Mr Lind of Sweden.

Not only can it be done ,it Should be done.
A 914-8.aircooled..must have.
If it wasn't such a boat anchor, the air cooled Tatra 8 would be cool
In Europe,the Tatra aircooled V8 has been used for many unique projects.

Q
However, Tatra came up with some very special concepts and innovations under the hood as well. Which technical details were most significant?
Ivan Margolius: The lightweight air-cooled rear engines V8 and flat 4, swiveling headlights, swing axles, forced fan-assisted cooling and flat undersides.
Q
Haven't looked into the aftermarket for these engines,if it exists.

Incredibly,snuggled into the behind.
So yeah,with some careful measurement and mods,one could slip right in to your 914,smoothly.

A great idea,now,where is that flat -8,pushrod even.
To accommodate said long-block,a wb stretch would make a perfect fit.

Huge history! I remember seeing Dubcek and Svoboda cruising around Praha and Bratislava in 603! And then in the 70's them orders 613 model. Only the party big wigs got to be driven in those cars. Ahhh, great memories of the utopian socialism of CSSR and CCCP! And the pivo! Don't forget the pivo!

Come to think of it,those highpressure dies quite likely still exist.
The entire GM Corvair production diesets were scrapped in the 70's.
But things are done differently there,as the dies are of great value,even now.

Do you see anything you like?An alloy aircooled v8 of aircraft design philosophy.
Lightweight,compact,easily manufactured,similar in design to the vw and corvair.
hemi design canted valve in pushrod and dohc configuration,sophisticated.

T603 engine designed by Julius Mackerle.
http://www.eurospares.com/graphics/engine/...searcheable.pdf (thanks jd74914 )
By raising the camshaft far above the crank in the valley,the rocker geometry for the exhaust valve is improved,perhaps making possible the use of common rockers throughout.
Note the hemi-like chamber and wide angle canted valves.Like the VW/Porsche and Corvair,the bore diameter is restricted by the cylinder head studs.
A considerable amount of weight savings would be realized by adopting LN cylinders.
I believe the crank is a conventional cross plane and at a small 72mm stroke,there may be plenty of room for a much larger stroker.

The discrete lifter-blocks allow replacement roller-lifter and barrels to be installed for low friction,high rpm operation.

Tatra 613 unfinished project - Diesel. Unique project of rebuilding the engine T613 (aggregate) on diesel variant. At the end of the 70th century originated minuléto years so far unique project for rebuilding the engine on the T613 diesel engine with direct fuel injection into the cylinder. As a base engine was used T613 (model E) production year 1977, which had traveled 20 thousand. km. The creation of new pistons with a semicircular shape of the bottom of the piston has been redesigned combustion chamber cylinder heads were modified cabinets cam engine was devised to drive fuel injectors, all this was preceded by a complex formulation of models later casts, followed by manufacture themselves cast as pistons and various components, from which the formed parts for driving the injection pumps, produced with a special injector, it was necessary to devise and make special threaded shaft for installation into enclosures injectors cams and cylinder heads. further information only serious and technically savvy candidates. This project is a testament to immense creativity and skill of the Moravian-wise and because the owner of this concept does not want to make this engine ended up in scrap, looking for this very technical and design an efficient, technologically savvy real enthusiasts Tatrovaks heart for engines Tatra, which this project dotáhnul to successful end. The owner of both the engine and the entire project, originator of the idea itself is ready to provide serious, but it really only serious candidates all technical and knowledge support to complete this project successfully. The owner, however, asks dealers and speculators, who, on this project, they just want to earn without it without touching anything, so this video in any way responded.
P.S. The video is mistakenly stated that the year of manufacture of the engine is 1997 correctly's 1,977th
