Okay so here is my teaser! I've always wanted a 914-6. I finally took the plunge & bought one. Most of you are probably thinking it is a v6 or some crazy thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . You've got a week to just sit there & wonder
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) .Yeah I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

It looks to have a remote oil cooler. Where did they put the cooler?
When you get a chance, can you get some pics of the engine mount setup? Or, you know, maybe take some measurements? -m. |

I'll get measurments. They just used the stock early motor mount bar. Looks like they just retrofitted the side bolts a little wider than stock. Then welded on the tab for the front of the motor. It's effective enough but I'll be doing something a little nicer. I also am going to swap out the tailshifter. I've got a nice sideshift with a cable shift setup (Thanks to Mike Bellis). I was going to put that on my LS1 but think I'll use it on this instead. Was planning to do a Boxter tranny at some point for my LS1 anyway. Attached image(s) |

I'll give you a great deal on an Audi 5 speed too! Yeah those short gears would work great for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) . I'll be keeping my eye's open for a nice 6 speed. I'm in no rush though. I'm going to concentrate on this 914 for a while. Then work on painting my LS1 car. Not going to do anything more on the LS1 conversion until I finish this car. |

Not going to do anything more on the LS1 conversion until I finish this car. It's a matter of HP & Torque... The gearing is too low for my 350hp turbo engine. It would be great for a 100-150 hp engine. It would not work well for your LS1 conversion. Here are the specs, not sure how this compares to a 901... EZG- Final/ 3.7 ratio/ overall 1/ 3.778/ 13.98 2/ 2.16/ 7.99 3/ 1.429/ 5.29 4/ 1.029/ 3.81 5/ 0.838/ 3.10 |
