Ok!!! So here is the million dollar question!!!! If you had to do it all over again would you convert to a flat-6 or a V-8? What is easier to convert? Seems like the V-8 maybe a little cheaper. However it seems like you have to cut your firewall out… is that also true? (Please note I am no wheres close to it yet but I need a plan!)
What Trans is the best to go with? I was think of a 73-76 side shift 901 with a billet heavy duty intermediate plate from a 70-72? (this would be built as street car… NO-auto cross….) |

My first thoughts where to go with a Raby 4. I just am not sure if 200 hp is enough.. I know that doesnt sound right... "Like what does this guy want???" so ... Here is what I want! I want to beat a GT Mustang or Vette. I want to be able to do 140 mph if I want. I did email Jake about one his motors asking questions. I just really dont know. I have always had old Z28's with LT1's, 6.6 Trans Am a corvette or 2 along the way. I want the car to be quick and fast. A souped up 4 mayb e alll i need. Cost is something that is important but if took me another year or so to get the right car togather then I would take the time. The engine cost between Jakes 4 and a flat 6 from Mes... are about the same cost. (240 hp) it is only 3K for a turn key v-8 with 330 hp.... see my delema??? I mean the best thing would be the four.. it is the easiest to do! but I have never been in a 914 with 240 hp nor raced agaisnt one. Dont get me wrong... I am older dude (40 this year! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) ) and I have no intensions of racing everynight, but I do want to blow away the young punk next to me when I have to! |
