Pretty similar to Snoopy, my 914-6 narrow body conversion with the 2.7 MFI engine. This car cost $150k to build per seller...mine was even more. High quality conversions are as nice and every bit as expensive to build as a real six.

The particular FI system on this car had me scratching my head as well. Great color.

I had spoken to the owner Mike long before he listed the car, as he was in one of the Facebook groups. He said the Holley system really worked well because of the way the computer learns and adjusts. I guess until someone makes a more plug and play ITB setup, it wasn't a bad way to go. He retained the CIS injection runners and modified the CIS airbox with a metal mount plate to accept the Holley 2 BBL sniper. I give him an A+ for creativity and he said it ran like a bat out of hell at WOT. He did say the Solex cams were a bit lumpy and made it less drivable at lower RPMS. Anyway, I would love to see a plug and play ITB setup from a company like Holley or Borla that didn't require significant knowledge or hourly tuning rates to get retrofitted. I find CIS to be rather.... lackluster on my 6 conversion. Finicky cold starts, not the most responsive etc...
