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….) |

Hi Folks,,
I'm new here. Personally I prefer rotary power motivation,, but I guess you could have guessed that from my user name. 225+ normally aspirated ponies out of 1.3L, 8k conservative red line, less weight than a type IV. I know it's sacrilage to some that the engine isn't a porsche product, but Dr. Wankle was a german dude. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I prefer to look at my car as a modern day axis aliance,, (now to find something italian). I would definately do it again, and am doing it! I have a long term rotary project that I just got off my A$$ on again in a 914. Then maybe even a V-8 since I have the radiator already, to feel some monster torque, but that's way down the road. -Rob |
