I have been gone for a few years. Transferred back and forth, ATL-OKC-ATL.
4 years in OKC, then a year on the road and then a year off working on fixing up the old homestead ,selling and then buying all over again. Covid shut us in and somewhere along the line I gathered up my car, put back in my garage and stared at it for awhile. Then brillance struck!!!! ?????? %^^&&$%^$^%^&% Pull out the Suby turbo and start over!! Of course... Brillant. Exorcised the ghosts, fresh plan, new parts, Blank slate. Found a 4.8l truck motor cheap and rebuilt and customized for 914. Found a boxster 6 speed and adapter set up here. ValcoOscar, Thank you. BigKat filled in the blanks with 930 axles.. We have the tech, we can reebuild!!!! greg d914 |

Nice build! With Bigkat as a co-conspirator, you're in good hands. Can you please share the source for the hood vent; i.e. source, part number, steel or aluminum? Thanks, Andys |
