Anyone performed a flat 4 swap on a v8 swapped 914?
I'm sure a v8 is fun, but not my thing. I'm wondering how hard it would be to convert one back. |

Besides the holes in the front trunk sheetmetal, it will likely have the firewall engine shelf cut off for clearance and maybe the sides, so all that will need to be sourced and welded in before it will work as an aircooled again.
Like as has been said, do a Subaru flat 6 swap -- all the benefits of a Porsche 6 swap but budget friendly. |
