914 v8

Post by Racecraft76 »

Not a fan of the v8 conversions, but at least this keeps it all Porsche.

Oh great, thanks! I've just wasted another 20 minutes looking at all the 914 V8 videos on You Tube! One day I will do this conversion, but it would have to be a small-block Chevy. The sound! The torque! The cheap parts! :lol:

Good to see you're still easily distracted, KS. Be careful, or I'll come down and bum another cup of coffee and waste another 4 hours for you!

Cheers

Seriously not a fan of V8 conversions (or any conversions on 914s) but this one is done well. Sure sounds good to...

Look, you've just done it again! That's another 20 minutes wasted! I hate YouTube – it's so seductive! :evil: :lol:

Have to say this is a conversion i will be doing hopefully on one of my 14's.

Never been a purist and never worried what people thought of my old 14 (which alot did not like!)

V8 is the way to go!

Think about it free road tax with a V8 lump!

How Bizarre i was only browsing Auto Trader yesterday thinking how cheap 928's are for a lot of car. then got to thinking it would be nice to do 928 powered 914 or Hotrod.
oh well keep dreaming,i will add this thought to the list of my many others :roll:
