QUOTE(3d914 @ Sep 15 2014, 10:08 PM)  Have you seen these? Both are design built around the 914 unibody. Either would be interesting to refine/update. Sure,a great idea,rather than purchasing an off the rack auto,make a custom. California is a goldmine of automotive design/build talent. Start like we all did,scratching our "Lambo"with a pencil on the back page of notebooks.Mockup scale models and when the results please you,move to full-size mounted on the recipient Fiero chassis.Beat alloy panels into shape over wooden bucks like Bertone or layup into a mold pulled from a buck. So yeah,a huge effort is required,and at the end you may have something like a Bradley or (hopefully) a Frua 914.I suppose that is why I can appreciate the results Eberhard Shulz attained with his Imperator 108 in the '70s.A verbatim replica of others work would not suffice,so he designed and built his own.An achievement like that requires more than a passing knowledge of design and manufacture. It all starts with an idea,so determine what your quest is then blaze a path.  a good example of a nicely integrated design  A perfect example of meticulous,determined construction methods. wow http://www.gt40s.com/forum/wings-wheels-ke...0-dreaming.html Bruce McLaren"woosh bonk...done" |

QUOTE(veekry9 @ Apr 19 2014, 07:44 PM) As an example of how design intent can go arwry.. YellowHorror Fat tires-check. Flares-check pseudo f40-check As you observe various auto designs are you able to percieve rust and or dents from a distance of 100 yds?Sure,so it is entirely possible to detect the shape of the fenders of a 911rsr.Expedient measures to cover the tires range from this to the shapely splined flanks of the 914. The necessity drives the invention. Post #90543  funny thing,found. from this angle it looks better. the addition of discrete features+nasa ducts (edit:07/09/16) A relic of the past,it has grown on me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  Kinda has some F40 details,V8 too. |

The engineering that went into the stamped steel chasssis produced a rigid crash safe exoskeleton. The only production mid of America. Check the prices of that poor car and compare to any other mid. (edit:05/05/16) 80 mph transverse rollover crash tests passed.    http://www.italdesign.it/en/projects/ford-maya-iies-eng/ http://www.fiero.nl/cgi-bin/fiero/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro All that's required is a dieman to create repair panels for the chronic rust areas. Then add lightweight power for a decent mid sportster. Different crash safety requirements,the reason for the 914's cancellation. |

The more I more I consider the cylinder heads of the 4cam 613,the more I'm inclined to think they may fit quite easily onto a Corvair shortblock.
Gears are turning here. A flat 6 or 8 from the Carpathian Mountains.   Bolts? Sure, I've got Bolts. http://ffilms.org/young-frankenstein-1974/ |

 Side view with cam tower exposed showing lifter-block registers and seats. A custom barrel to carry a roller lifter can be fabricated to seat in the existing bore. (Edit:10/21/14) The stud spacing appears to be wide enough to accommodate an 90mm bore cylinder. Visible cylinder bore is 75mm,so perhaps as much as 90mm(+15mm) Anyone out there have real specifications of the head stud spacing? (as resolved from drawing,102mm bcd) http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...22522&st=98 edit:an 80mm(+8mm) stroke would yield 4.07 L,an increase of 1.5L . Aircooled V8 hemispherical head 16 V pushrod alloy engine. What's not to like?The crank is likely forged as the diesel manufacturing requires them. All around a decent small V8 with great potential,just needs some modern tech applied to them. / (edit:11/10/15) Have a look at these few vids. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...gine&page=1 / (edit:08/06/16):  http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/148...a-sport-v8-pics / (edit:08/08/16):  The numbers here are very close,so,a maximum bore diameter of ~90mm. The cast iron lifter bore bodies are seen attached to the cam tower.Custom versions made to carry roller lifters would fit nicely. At the bottom,one of the oil coolers is seated on it's seal flanges,the temperature sender at the top of the stud. The distributor barrel is at the right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) / |

Discovery!
The manufacture of an aircooled V8 integral with transmission and final drive. The Tatra 613 V8 and The Tatra 700 V8.    compact design places crankshaft above axle. |
