So I'm in the process of restomoding my new to me 72 914. Currently the cage is being put together for shipment (thank you Chris at Tangerine Racing), rust is being sorted, parts collection going on, and I'm sanding down/ stripping the body. The only thing I'm uncertain about is the heart of the beast.

Built subaru

Stock LS1

Rotary

All have their pros and cons, but the common denominator is fun.

Is there anyone around Long Beach or high desert that would be up to take me for a spin in their swapped car?

Thanks in advance. Beers will be on me, gotta sweeten the pot some how. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

All three are very different driving experiences.

What transmission would you prefer to run?

If I'd go Subaru or LS I'd use the 5mt subi trans converted for front whee drive and LSD.

Rotary id probably go stock 914 trans or look at the option of a higher final drive ratio on a subi 5mt like this 4.44 Subaru ring and pinion
