16 months after I drug my 75 project home from Oregon and a few engine diversions (subaru and big4...couldn't decide), my V-8 project is pretty much done....well, as much as any 914 is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I still need to rechrome the back bumper, install my AC unit and install my new door inside sill trim, but hey...close enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) .

Mike...front spoiler is from Renegade and rear is from an aftermarket for an early 914.
Thanks for the compliment...it's been a fun project. Such a sense of accomplishment when you do everything yourself...although much slower. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif)

To say wow is an understatement,

It looks bitchen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . Very, very nice. What wheel and tire size do you have on and please explain the air filter setup.

Hi Bob...
The wheels I picked-up are a matched set of 1978 fuchs, 16 X 6 and 16 X 7s that are darn near perfect...and fully polished. The caps I bought from ebay and a set of pollished alloy lugs came from AutoAtlanta.

For tires, I bought a set of BF Goodrich 205/45/16 Z rated sports from Costco. Great deal, they gave me an instant 60 dollar rebate from BF Goodrich and the tires ended up costing me 381 out the door balanced and all--which I felt was a great deal for a quality tire. Tip: Had to bring the rims in and say the tires were going on a 911 to get Costco to mount them (policy...only mount stock tires) LOL.

This low profile air cleaner is pretty common for 914s with a v-8...it used to be a B&M product but now is available under the Holley name. I really like the way it breathes off to the sides.

That is a beautiful car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Sixteen months is a very short period for all that you did.

How many hours per day did you work on this?

Is it silver, or does it have a greenish tint to it? Can't tell on my computer.

MARK!!!!!! Excelent Job

Like Greenie said 16 months is probally a record for a do it your selfer, for what you did.

Awsome Job one of the best V-8 conversions on the west coast.

I don't think you'll ever be done, there will always be somthing you want shinnier, or something you want stronger, and then want to go faster, and then stop better.

Great job, Enjoy, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
