In Europe,the Tatra aircooled V8 has been used for many unique projects.
Traditional 90*v8 layout A lightweight v8 bike Q However, Tatra came up with some very special concepts and innovations under the hood as well. Which technical details were most significant? Ivan Margolius: The lightweight air-cooled rear engines V8 and flat 4, swiveling headlights, swing axles, forced fan-assisted cooling and flat undersides. Q Haven't looked into the aftermarket for these engines,if it exists. http://www.tatraplan.co.uk/ looks modern yup,modern An auto company with a huge history. / (edit:08/07/16): http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=61581 Some time later,more info became available. SuperBug-2.5L V8 (Bore:75mm X Stroke:72mm) Incredibly,snuggled into the behind. So yeah,with some careful measurement and mods,one could slip right in to your 914,smoothly.

I remember seeing Dubcek and Svoboda cruising around Praha and Bratislava in 603! And then in the 70's them orders 613 model. Only the party big wigs got to be driven in those cars. Ahhh, great memories of the utopian socialism of CSSR and CCCP! And the pivo! Don't forget the pivo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |
