There are so many details that appeal.
When shaving the siglamps,most don't retain them. Rolling the rockerpan looks right. I even like the colour. |

If it wasn't such a boat anchor, the air cooled Tatra 8 would be cool

In Europe,the Tatra aircooled V8 has been used for many unique projects.
 Traditional 90*v8 layout  A lightweight v8 bike Q However, Tatra came up with some very special concepts and innovations under the hood as well. Which technical details were most significant? Ivan Margolius: The lightweight air-cooled rear engines V8 and flat 4, swiveling headlights, swing axles, forced fan-assisted cooling and flat undersides. Q Haven't looked into the aftermarket for these engines,if it exists. http://www.tatraplan.co.uk/  looks modern  yup,modern An auto company with a huge history. / (edit:08/07/16): http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=61581 Some time later,more info became available.  SuperBug-2.5L V8 (Bore:75mm X Stroke:72mm)  Incredibly,snuggled into the behind. So yeah,with some careful measurement and mods,one could slip right in to your 914,smoothly.

 at speeed.  A great idea,now,where is that flat -8,pushrod even. To accommodate said long-block,a wb stretch would make a perfect fit. |

I remember seeing Dubcek and Svoboda cruising around Praha and Bratislava in 603! And then in the 70's them orders 613 model. Only the party big wigs got to be driven in those cars. Ahhh, great memories of the utopian socialism of CSSR and CCCP! And the pivo! Don't forget the pivo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

 Come to think of it,those highpressure dies quite likely still exist. The entire GM Corvair production diesets were scrapped in the 70's. But things are done differently there,as the dies are of great value,even now.  Do you see anything you like?An alloy aircooled v8 of aircraft design philosophy. Lightweight,compact,easily manufactured,similar in design to the vw and corvair. hemi design canted valve in pushrod and dohc configuration,sophisticated.  this is the H-4,chain driven sohc,1937.  pushrod -4 |
