Porsche 914 barn find - no eng or trans $3800

Well, I had to check out the 914 build thread and all I can say is OMG! I can’t even fathom approaching something this complex and involved. I spent quite a bit of time reviewing your progress and I know you will figure things out and get this done. Good luck!

I saw a TV show where some Brit converted the 914 to electric.
Engine & trans gone, the job is started

Elec into a 914 is a walk in the park compared to this endeavor. It's been done quite a few times. This swap? I don't think anyone has even dreamt of it... well, until now...

That is so awesome... more power to you for the vision and the execution. So cool.

I've always thought about a Prancing Pony in a 2002... either mid-engine such as yours, or a conventional front engine swap of a small V12.

This 914 will be quite a ride when it's done, can't wait to see it.

It'll be hard to top the LS3 hit. I almost lost a couple of teeth fillings when he leaned into it without forewarning me...the word violent springs to mind....but nothing street car derived tops the small displacement V8 Ferrari sound. It went away at the 430. The 355/360 sound incredible with Tumi headers and high-flow cats..
