Hey guys, I've very new to this whole thing. I'm still trying to figure out what is exactly wrong with my 914 (starting and running issue). But whats the possibility or reliability of installing a v8 or v6....other than the immediate install cost. what do ya'll think.

There are other venues than AX JP !

Only limited by your supply of $$$ |

well, i plan to work on the stock motor first. However I just saw alot of video's of V8 914's thats the only reason I wanted to ask the question.
As for what my plan is, its a 2nd car, My daily driver is a 03 mustang gt convertible. This 914 was given to me from my brother in law. I have built several cars that were not running and got them running again and then sold them. However this car has sentimental meaning to me, so i dont plan to sell it. This is just going to be a fun weekend car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
