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….) |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) I don't know about that one. When you place a "V" shaped engine in a car over a flat design, don't you move much of the wieght up? Doesn't your inertia go up? So your 914 would want to lean more, push to the side more? That said, I got to drive CAMP914's Yellow V8 car around and it handles VERY well. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) Just a thought. I like the V8's, almost did one, almost bought one. Glad I stuck with my six projects though. Seem to be a more true to what the 914 was intended to be. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
