Hi All, I'm forever on the search for the 'right' 914. Been a fan for 25+ years but not looking for too much of a project. I cringe that I missed mendeola's mule car on ebay, I could have had it for 12k with their trans and and an ls2 and 911 suspension. Lucky person that got it. I have no fear of mechanical, electric things, have rewired a few Ls based cars and have rebuilt a few. just don't want rust to deal with primariy is what keeps me away. with that said, anyone know if this car sold?

That might be Bob's car. FWIW, the "D" series was only produced until 2004 or 2005, IIRC. That model was 212hp & 218 ft Lb's torque. The higher numbers quoted were for the later 3.0 series which use variable timing and variable valve. This would be quite a task to use as I don't believe MS supports this and those model's. Factory ECU uses a lot of CANBUS you would need to defeat. That being said, I would shop for the EZ30D unless you want the extra work required to wire the later models. The EZ30D is a fantastic power plant and when coupled to the 914 it is a dream. Engines are cheap and plentiful. Entire engines can be had for $800 - $1100. They pull strong, and are smooth as a sewing machine. Redline at 7000rpm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
