LN Engineering 2563 Kit Options

[JimVG]

Has anyone here built a 914 Type 4 using the LN Engineering 2563-190 kit?

Believe it fits..

Kennedy did make an adapter …. Corvair runs backwards… reverse cam available or
flip the R+P.??

Plenty of parts available and cheap compared to Porsche..
High Rev..??? Not stock..

All sorts of options including big bore 3.0..and stroked to 3.3 for bigger money. They use those in airplanes..

Then there is this ….????!!!!

...And just like that The Ninja felt the change in room. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif)

Shit got REAL!

Thanks for the post!
That looks BAD ASSED!
Is it yours?

That looks "serious effort" in my book, degreed balancer, ITBs...
Any reported power numbers?
I'm especially interested in the torque numbers and rpm point.
Looks a tad bit skinnier than a 911 engine to me; might fit better.

I apologize to the OP for the thread drift, but you've got to admit it's any interesting one...

And, on second thought, the reverse rotation would BLOW it for me unless there was a proven way to build that engine to run backwards.
Changing rotation is usually harder than just a simple cam change. Corvair might be simple, most engines aren't in my experience.

Now, one of the most audacious tricks Smokey Yunik pulled off against NASCAR was he reversed the SBC (I believe) to assist handling "gyroscopically" for a car that only made left turns...
It worked! He was faster, NASCAR investigated and forced an engine build inspection.
He said "Fine, I build my engines under the surface of my parts washer for cleanliness." They watched him assemble the engine in the tank, pull it out, clear it and fire it up...
They never noticed the minor changes that allowed reverse rotation.
They did end up figuring it out!
Nascar has a specific rule dictating engine rotation now...
