Those little tiny air intakes in the fenders are minuscule compared with the size of the engine lid on a stock 914. That thing is going to overheat really fast.

You forget about the raintrain in the stock 914? Also the bottom of the engine is where the heat is managed. The top is just for air intake.

Sobering to realize AMC sold 5X as many Gremlins than Porsche sold 914s.
