Is the car still available? With the exhaust in trunk I guess you cant take the top off and put it in trunk? Does a lot of heat build up in trunk and what about bottom of rear trunk lid? Did you cover with dynamat? Is the bell housing pattern the same as a SBC, reason I ask is if I have problems with that motor wondering if I could swap a SBC in easily? Can you send more pics to carguy987@hotmail.com.
Would you be willing to take a 74 914 2.0 one owner with original fuel injection Olympic blue in partial?
Car guy ,
Yes although I have a potential buyer I'm in process of swapping gearbox for a complete
race built box with a taller 5th, billet intermediate carrier and few other mods that I hope will take this car to another level. Haven't had any problems with heat in engine compartment and I drive the frwys in so cal. I don't believe bell housing is a match for small block GM but I could be wrong and can do some research. Problems with this engine? Not sure what that means, but I know that this 215 Buick aluminum V8 was in the Buick special for 3 years before the design was sold to Range Rover in 1964 and has been in every land and Range Rover since 1965. Although it has gone thru many changes like our small block Chevy it is still in use witch would qualify it as the UK's equivalent to the small block Chevy. This version of this motor weighs 90 lbs. more than the 2.0 it replaced. Parts are available and D&D fabrications on the east coast is a wealth of information as well as parts. I'm at 562-896-3699 if you have questions
