Somewhat getting my a** kicked trying to get a conversion completed. We have a decent chassis and a fresh 2.7 that has made the rounds from Ollies and Eksten's. Still running a small business and often prioritize kids/grandkids when it comes to free time. It is coming up on two years and currently attempting to work through oil lines, exhaust, do I need an external cooler or not??
All the guys who have done them, would you do it again? |

Absolutely, The 914 should have been built with a six, and a better one than the 2.0L T motor it came with. It is a far better handling chassis than a 911, and way more fun to drive. Fitting a 911 engine is not a trivial matter, but fairly easy. The chassis was designed for it. And it makes the car so much more fun to drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
