I have been gone for a few years. Transferred back and forth, ATL-OKC-ATL.
4 years in OKC, then a year on the road and then a year off working on fixing up the old homestead ,selling and then buying all over again.

Covid shut us in and somewhere along the line I gathered up my car, put back in my garage and stared at it for awhile.

Then brillance struck!!!! ?????? %^^&&$%^$^%^&%

Pull out the Suby turbo and start over!! Of course... Brillant.

Exorcised the ghosts, fresh plan, new parts, Blank slate.

Found a 4.8l truck motor cheap and rebuilt and customized for 914.

Found a boxster 6 speed and adapter set up here. ValcoOscar, Thank you.

BigKat filled in the blanks with 930 axles..

We have the tech, we can reebuild!!!!

was going to go stock ecu and picked up a Wire Harness from Ebay.. Chinese but looks good.

Decided to go Holley terminator X for ECU and Harness. Hand Held and self tuning. These days faster and easier is better!!!

Harness will be going up in parts section if not sold locally. First come first serve. Was $240..... call it $200

Other wise making room for the engine, shifter cables and lots of little stuff. Need to take apart engine and tranny to install tranny pins and tighten up all the conversion plate bolts.

From what little I can see in the pics, looks like you have a great platform for such a build.

Only ever driven one V8 914 and I liked it. The rumble of 8cyls behind you was pretty cool.
