Nader's Nightmare...and mine too build thread, 4/6/14 Update. Options

[914coop]

Well after over two months it has finally arrived. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Guessing a lot of you are already familiar with this car. Previous threads are 914-6 Carrma and WOW, my "solid" car aint so solid, but now it is solid!, It is off jack stands!!!.

I bought this car for two reasons.

First, back on moaners day 2010 my 76' was rear ended. Got a rear clip for it and was going to have Area 51 Werks straiten it out and put on my AA steel flares. This car handled most of that need. (flares will still need to be done)

Second, I was planning on doing the five lug conversion. Had the parts to convert the 914 suspension to a five lug. (Modified 914-4 parts) This car was a huge upgrade as T.C. had converted it to a 911 setup both front and rear.

Those of you who know me already know this is a car for my son Dan, as I am legally blind and for some reason the stare of Minnesota would rather I not operate a vehicle on the roads..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

After some thought and checking Dan's finances (Porsche Purists Skip this paragraph) We have decided to put a 1966 Corvair 180 turbo in it. This engine will be modified slightly. Heads will have stainless valves and angled exhaust ports. Cam has been custom made by Cower Cams for more torque in the mid range and high end. Just waiting on the rebuild kit from Corvair Underground. We also will be changing the draw through Turbo to a dual carb blow through system. We have asked Steve Goodman (Corvair Guru) for advice as we started down this path.

Set a goal to have it road worthy by the RRC this fall.

Here are some pictures, sorry my son took the pictures and can not seem to center the subject.

Hey Irv,

I sent you an email with the phone number of a guy that works out of his garage. He's in the metro someplace. Give him a call when your ready and have him at least look and see if he can get you back in paint.

Hey Irv. I think I should bring the Alien down next summer and we'll find a big parking lot someplace and you can go through the gears.

Defiantly will take a ride with you driving.

Keep telling Dan we need to find a track and check in to getting time on it when the car is done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . My father keeps saying BIR, however I would bet that would be real $$$.

He keeps bringing up the movie Scent of a Woman.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.buddy-icons.info-9514-1326685938.1.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Yes, got the e-mail and will be checking with him, thanks for the possible contact.

Seam sealer on and primer tomorrow. Also stand in engine and the trans will be removed. i should have a good start to having the engine together by end of next weekend.

That is if the rings show up this week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
