I received Army Dudes car on Monday and now I am going drop the engine and trans and cut out the bracing from this car with the plan to blend it the Duc’s Blue car that will be in a few days. It will take a long time but I will get rid of this body after I have pulled off the good parts.
I wanted the club members to see what I was up to and ask if they see any problems with this. I want to end up with a car with a rear floor in the trunk and it looks like I can cut and raise a section above the center of the 930 trans. with fasteners to service the box when I need to and still fit a space saver on a Fuchs (I tried it today.) I was told if I use a smaller distributor I would not need to get clearance at the front wall of the trunk. Someone in the V8 know may answer that for me if you can. The stock 914 motor mounts look like they just had a plate welded on and I would like to know if you think that will be OK for 400HP. The pictures show the custom motor mounts set up and the welded brackets. The car came with a Ron Davis Renegade radiator. The Blue car will end up with Boxster brakes and a Carrera front end. 7” 16 Fuchs stock body that is all pained now with new black leather interior. Thanks for your help as always, Bob ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The blue car was originally a blue car and it has a premo paint job that does not need any work on the body to speak of . It has new leather seats and a new interior with a new leather dash. So this car needs nothing to speak of. Just put all the Goodness of the other car in it.
The other car has a very bad Green paint over black over sliver. No wiring and no interior. So why bother. The trunk is a good thing to have, as I want to keep it stock looking in the back and I want to keep a space saver in there. All the dirt and crap from the road will go in there without a trunk. I have 7” fuchs thanks. Bob ![]() This was the car up the Camp 914 for so long |
