I did... yesterday after meeting an old high school buddy for a game of golf. He was always into cars. Mostly for drag. I took him on some twisties & noticed his white knuckles holdin on & a smile ta boot
Then I pulled over & said "ya wanna drive?"
It didn't take long before he got the feel of the car & actually got into drift'n a few corners. All he could say when it was all over was "corner'n 'lil bitch ain't she?" Now he's thinkin' about the V8 conversions. He wants to put his 340 horse 327 in one.

Bruce Good morning, Way to go, hope your friend didn't scare you to much when he was doing the twisty bits.
Hey if he is seroius about a car to convert let me know, I saw a nice one in Ventura ready to go.

I sent him some links to conversion sites this morning. I think he will begin to study the aspects of 914 conversions for awhile until it excites him to the point of NEEDING one. That's how he usually runs his life. I planted the seed, now I just need to keep adding fertilizer & water thoroughly I don't think it will happen this year though. Thanks Craig......

only if you have parts to sell and want to work on someone else's car i allways thought the high reving early z28 engine would be a cool conv.

Way to go, Bruce. Don't get too carried away, though, don't want too much competition out there when we're shopping for newacquisitions !

I did that once. Now every time I see the guy he says "Sell me your car".

John - nice avatar...bottom of the downhill?

To answer your first question.....I always hand over the keys and say....you break, you fix, you pay.....

AS to a V8 conversion....Malmzx has a good one....

I believe Thom (dakotaewing) is building a teener based around a "real" Z28 V8.

My rule is "Wreck it you better total it."

Don't let ANYONE ride my bike though.

I would pay money to see a 914 with a Z06 engine pull up to a Corvette and rev its engine. The look on the Corvette drivers face would be worth it weight in gold

Chris, you could title that as "PRICELESS"
