Here's the video. It's almost 60 MB. If somebody can shrink it, please do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I really enjoy this video. The engine is absolutly RAW.
Once it get gets off the rough idle it ROARS to life. Deafening.

Listen to the starter dinking up my flywheel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

This is literally the first start-up footage for you.
The thing was running and revving after about twenty seconds after sitting for up to 4 years. We didn't even have to prime the carbs or use starting fluid.

I am very stoked, as the engine is only idling on three cylinders.
Mark cleared the idle jets, we shot smoe carb cleaner at it and it improved greatly. YESSSSS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

Next video will be it bench-roaring on rebuilt Webers.

GO SIX!

I'll finish out the year in BP. This is my winter project, Sir.

Next year, we'll be using the new GGR point based classing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

If the the motor was in there right now and it is a 2.0 I'd be in FP.
2.2 and I'm GP.

Slicks and I'm FM with the 2.0, 2.2 = GM

...anyway.

The flywheel and starter were fine. We shimmed the bell housing back a bit. It was a vw bus bell housing, so the dimensions were a bit off.

Trekkor are you selling that trick exhaust? Maybe I need to buy a dune buggy and put me 2.0L six in it. How did you rig up the oil tank? I have a trans and a starter I just need to get the oil system to bench run my motor. Good luck with the project. Thanks Mark

The exhaust is likely uneeded. Tri-Mil 6 into 1 with Supertrapp...Ouch. ( that's hot.) pointing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)

Oil tank is just leaning against my toolbox out of the picture.

Update:

The last two autocrosses had 914-6's that trashed me!
...And I picked up my Patrick Moly Mount today.

One more item to cross off the list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Nothing personal against the four bangers but any six is cool no matter what the size is.
My favorite song will always be a six with webers.

I've been enjoying a couple of Pepe Deluxe albums lately, so I guess those are my favorites.

Trekkor , since you've got your motor mount..it looks like you're converting to 6-congrats ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
An old friend of mine , Joe Miller (founded TriMil) built your dune-header. Joe passed on recently-but he built some crazy stuff !
I started our parts upgrade company in 1976, and focused on the 914. Since then I've still got it bad for 914s. If you need some decent mandrel (correct) headers for your conversion- - I can hook you up with a pair when you're ready. These are close copies of the factory race style used in the early 70's, direct fit without extensions.
Since we are both board members here ...you can have these at the W/D price (call me-- can't post $!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
