914 V8, 351 to Porsche tranny Options

[Teknon]

Is there an adapter to go from a Ford 351C to a Porsche transmission?? I have searched around some and can't seem to find one. All are for a Chevy so far.

I kinda would like to know the specs on the engine So turbo914v8 whats with your engine?

I don’t mind sharing information. I believe these numbers because that’s what the dyno report says. Even if I post pictures unless you see if for your self you wont believe it. This summer I snapped the chasse in half, too much torque. I am in the process of rebuilding this time with a proper cage. I really don’t know what I was thinking. I figured I would be able to get away with seem welding and chasse strengthening kits. Obviously it did not work. We just had our second child so for the moment work on the 914 has halted. When I start work on it again I will document the progress here. There will be lots of pictures in my Blog at that time.

Engine specs: Nascar bowtie block .03 over = 355ci v8

Building a 1000 Hp V8 is not hard. First off you will need to use forced induction. My choice of weapon for this is a custom-built twin turbo system designed and built by me to fit in the 914. You will need at least 30 psi so an intercooler is a must. Fuel management is critical so selecting a good FI system is also important. I chose Electromotive. Three points need to be address with regards to the engine. The reciprocating assembly needs to be strong (Crank, connection rods, pistons). Low compression is a must. I am using Ross reverse dome floating pistons. Under 30 psi you have to make sure that the cylinders will seal. To combat this problem I had my block "O" ringed and I am using a coated copper head gasket. That's it. You don’t even have to port the heads, however I did because I'm greedy. The magic comes from the cam grind. I had a really smart friend figure that one out for me, but there are lost of cams available that will do the trick. I have a small circle of friends who experiment with turbo systems. I have seen these guys take a stock Chevy v8 with 200km +, Turbo charge it using parts from the junkyard and make well over 600 hp. I got my inspiration from those guys. I would have to agree with comments made earlier regarding the high cost of the ZF box. I also got mine very cheep that was a big factor in using it. Another added advantage with the ZF box is that you get to use the big clutch packages that are readily available from many sources.
