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….) |

you probably COULD do 140 in a 200 hp 914, but why? it's a 2000 lb car it doesn't take much to push it, and 200 hp is mor than DOUBLE the stock hp (almost double the hp of a stock 6!) and very light!
there is NO where you can drive any car at 140(legally)... and no where and no time you SHOULD!! I have been in a car that was doing 145 ONCE... I won't do it again... it was a 87 300zx twin turbo... and that is a scary feeling to go that fast with no helmet and roll cage! |
