I have a buddy who has a 360 Modena motor and tranny (and suspension) in complete running order. And of course, I thought, "Hey, that'll fit into a 914."
Who's gonna step up and get it?
BTW, the motor costs more than a really nice 914-6.
Full Version: Anybody Want A Ferrari 914?
No way.
That's not meant for a 914. Looks more like something you'd stick in a DDR4 or a Noble.

Ha!!! I have seen this motor in person and it is about 1/3 the size of a whole 914!
Im sure its liter then a SBC or LS?. Probably smaller to.
How much?

... if you have to ask...
I'll Take it!!
I have just the car for that to go into.
I would bet the performance will be better than the 420HP 327 I was going to put in.
Oh, Will he take payments?

Eh, I fail to see the point. You could cram it in and it would be kinda cool, but honestly too big and heavy. Yes I do get that the poster was being sarcastic, but still.
You hope that it nothing ever broke because the cost of parts would be scary and
you think Jakes prices are high

I see from your post count why you wouldn't get the point. We often have debates around here about 4 vs 6, Porsche vs SBC or Subie. If you had been here even a month longer you would know why Mark was tongue-in-cheek suggesting that someone buy the Ferrari motor and put it into a 914... He is just stirring the poo.Still, 2 posts and you are calling out an admin! You will fit right in here. Or should I say... misfit???
Again, welcome!!!
I think it would fit just fine... after sacrificing the rear trunk of course... and the front trunk for the radiator. I'll even do the conversion for ya', for a measly $65,000 out the door. 
Ha call me out all you like, I can take it.
Now, if only I could cut the Ferrari motor in half, since I'm partial to four cylinder motors...

Better make that 100K Mark... I think you would have to redesign the suspension. It looked too wide to me!

That would be the Mussolini Porsche or the El Duche " The Doosh" Porsche. 
I only looked in here 'cause I thought Mark had come across a Dino kit. Saw one a few years back at a donated car lot 
One of the door skins had come unglued, was laying under the car 
But the kicker was the piece of waterpipe that went through the front sheet metal that the hood hinged on You don't even want to hear about the VIN... 
As in a car with a front mounted fuel pump (with access hatch) and a 1.8 that had an air pump and EGR plumbing still intact with a hand stamped plate in the window? 
The front fender had been hammered to make the number illegible, then the stamps were used to put a new number in, just enough to say it was a '73...
