I have 5 months to wrap this thing up. I need to have time to work out any bugs before to West Coast 914 Classic. I'll be on the board less and in the shop more. So DON"T BUG ME! (kidding)

'Bout time! I should talk. Good luck!

I had to do it

So, about a year...

So where are you on the project? I've only seen one pic of it with the motor visible through the ripped out firewall.

Here ya go.

Hey! HEY!

Boom Boom BOOM! HOw how HOW! HEY hey!

Your scaring me...ahhh ahh... the alien "resurection" LOL

Get back to work.

Oh.. and put some more lights in that damn place..


B

That motor just screams "seperate throttle bodies and Megasquirt" !!!!

You won't get good performance with duct tape over the intakes ....

lol

Rich,

Congrats on the restart! You have added motivation to my tiny projects. Look forward to seeing it out here in the summer!

I've got a Street Rod Mag around here someplace showing a 928 motor in like a 32 Ford or something with down draft webers. I have a friend that wants to do the 928 into a 914. He bought a motor but the injection was incomplete. I'm working on him to do an 8 throttle body injection. They should be installed so the tall stack set cross each other like an "X" That would look cool.

For me I love the look of that huge alien tarantula breeding with that wild looking V8!
It's savage and carnal! Primal! The pulsing idle, the screaming revs as the fuel squirts in through the injectors and fills the cylinders!

God Someone get me a cigarette!

Ya the bulbs are temperary. I need to tape the joints and paint the place. Then I'm going to replace them with tubes or something.

Yep, Time for the clean up and new gaskets and seals. then on to the chassis and a quick repaint to repair the damage that occurred from all the years of sitting and the three winters the car sat outside in the snow.

Hmmm. I spy a 2002......................What is going on with that?

Perfect picture for a KY-Jelly advertisement!

No matter how big...


...enough KY will get it in!

The 32 Ford with the 928 engine was built here in NorCal. Mountain View to be exact. They used the whole drivetrain from a 928 in a tube chassis. It was red correct ??

B

yeah, whats the story with the bmw '02 ???

Brad,

I wanna see pics of that car. I've been thinking of that for a few years now. It's a way to get my Porsche & HotRod fix in one car! LOL!

Bring a trailer and come and get it. I'll make you a deal. It's a 1975 only real rust was the front floors from a typical leaking windsheild gasket. Needs paint and interior work. Teh doors have working power window lifts and power mirrors. NO TITLE. I saved the car from a crusher.

1975 short block
Twin 40mm Webers, 121 head with E12 Valves, Schrick Double valve springs, head was cut .111 over max recomended cut, custom manual chain tensioner(as in I made it), Custom cam gear(as in I made it), Paco 7800 series cam, Mallory mechanical advance dist., header

This motor was in one of my other 2002's that had 275/50/16 comp T/A's on the rear.
It would fry those big dogs right out of the shop!

The car has a complete new front suspension, Every thing! I mean everything! Also ADDCO big front and rear sway bars. We drove the car last week but it's tune up time.

Yes that's the car. I can't find the mag now though! crazy long thing with goofy steering shaft going over the top of the motor. Wild fast suicide machine.

part of the build crew.

My oldest son Aric building the final design for the transaxle mounts.

Aric's friend Luke.

Why is the pen taped to the door ?

He looks awful happy. Try to keep his enthusiasm in check... LOL



b

Aric's friend Forrest.

I thought I was KING of slave labor. You win


B

Motor looks better. just about ready for the new seals, water pump, etc.

Luke cleaned this up pretty good.

Aric doesn't like to have his picture taken. Luke was making labels for the zip lock bags for the bolts. He didn't want to loose the pen.

I'm raising a whole new breed of enthusists.

Have you taught them rust repair ?? Or do Honda's rust ??? LOL


B

Luke bought his first car, 1990 BMW 325IX. GOOD BOY! He just got rearended by a moron with no insurance! So were working on pulling it out far enough so we can fit a trunk lid and get the quarter panel off the left rear tire! Forrest just test drove a 1994 325IS but his parents put an end to that with an insurance quote. He gave in and bought a Honda! Aric can't decide what he likes. He had a 91 VW GTI last summer. We bought it at auction for $ 500.00 and replaced the rear bumper for $ 100.00. Sold it on ebay for $ 2500.00 He has a Jeep for the winter. (soft top!brrrrr) He really wants my 1995 M3. (ya right) But he doesn't think he needs a job to own it. I'm trying to steer clear of rust repair.

Cool project,and all Porsche to boot.As it should be.
Keep pluggin along. It'll get there.

Hi Rich -
I have been looking everywhere for a set of the old Addco swaybars - especially the front underbody style. My car had them but the front was bent when I had the car towed home when I initially purchased it. Is there anyway you would sell them seperate of the car (especially the front bar)? Please let me know.

Good luck on the Alien!
Scott S

You and I travel the same path. Radical 914's, MGA's BMW's. As much as I would like to help you out, The bar is installed on the Car. I would sell it but it would cost $ 1500.00 and you would still have to take the rest of the car with it. Sorry....

Rich that is a big throttle body in the CIS engine. is a Euro Piece? Wish the valley of my motor were that clean. There is going to be ALOT of torque generated with this lite car and 928 power. Crap I have to baby my 78 if the roads are damp and I am runnig 245/45-16 WR rated rubber and a 2.75:1 rear end.

So this means I just got to come ride in this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok looked back at the spider intake YUP it is a EURO piece. What do you know about the engine? What is the number on the front rib by the oil fill? Euro motors put down 300 HP in CIS trim.

I would go for that, except that Katherine would shoot me. I already have to leave something at the office because we are out of parking spots.

You'll see it at the West Coast 914 Classic If things go as planned. I'm also working on making Barber Dave's event later the same month. so I'm hard at work

I'll let you sit in the driver seat, tickle the key, feel the power pulsing behind your back. But before you let out the clutch you need to be wearing a depends! (kidding....)

Ya, I spent a butt load of money on the car. Actually I spent a butt load of money on a pile of parts i had laying around. I just stuck a bunch of my leftover parts on the car to save having to store a bunch of boxes. If I had the time I'd part it out. I've had the car for sale for several years now but no takers. I also have a 1977 530I that is stupid crazy with new parts. I have that on ebay now. 3 days in and no bids.

1980 Euro spec "S" 300 Hp. That is through restrictive exhaust, +30hp, pollition pump, air conditioning compressor, big cast alluminum fan, etc. OH YA!

That's one of the most beautiful v8's I've ever seen. Great project!

Back in the trenches. We made a coool rear trunk panel.

That looks great Rich!

Nice

that car is gona be way to cool when it's done. What are you going to do about the firewall? Making a removiable access panel?
Eric

HO MY GOD! That ROCKS Rich!


M

Thanks all. Glad your enjoying my madness. I though about making a removable access panel but there isnt anything tha can really be serviced from back there anyway. In hindsight I really didnt need to remove the stock floor and rear trunk bulk head once I figured out how to move the motor forward. So the new panel is really fixing a mistake. (live and learn for the next one )
If I had a parts car I would just section back in a stock floor. the only mod would be a small dog house over the fuel distributor like the V8 chevy guy use with the HEI distributor.

Yes in the passanger compartment. Were just about finished with that too. Film...er ahhh... Photos at 11:00 I havent figured out how I'm going to check the oil yet. the dip stick is in the front. I need to quit procrastinating and bring my custom oil pan back to the TIG welder for one more mod.
