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

Dropped my drivetrain today! I ordered a few gaskets & exhaust donuts. I should have them this week. I pulled the old sloppy tailshift tranny. I've got to replace the tailcone gasket on the one replacing it. Then route my cables. I think I will just run them through the hole the shift rod comes through. This overall setup is definitely different.
I really don't like the belt setup. They are known for throwing them. Would be a pretty quick swap. With the way the oil cooler is setup. That wont be such a simple thing. I'll need to do some rerouting or something there. I'm not going to mess with the setup to much though. Just going to run the motor pretty much as is. I wanted a driver while I work on the LS1. I don't want to be sinking money into this to the point my LS1 get's put off more. Here are a few pics of the motor out on the stand. I have to admit having a lift is so damn awesome. Between my lift & my hydrolic table on wheels. It was absolutely easy to pull. Can't believe how many years I wasted lying on my back. Jacking up side to side to get it high enough to drop.
