I would suggest going to some vintage races in the north west to see what people are running and take lots of notes. Generally if you are building a car for a specific class in a specific race organization you are severely restricting what you can do. Remember that Porsches and 914 in particular raced with SCCA, IMSA, POC, PCA, Mexican Federations and some 911s even raced in NASCAR. They had 4's, 6's, turbo sixes, FI 4's (#22 Wayne Baker car) and as many other mixes as you could imagine.

As an example, back in 1998 I wanted to race my 1973 914-4 with VARA but they said it was a year too new, even though it had already won over 10 POC and PCA class championships, they did not care. So I signed up with HSR-West which was just starting up out here and had a blast! VARA only wanted the SCCA "production" cars and when they had their first big event at the CA Speedway and Ron showed up with the #22 914 which is a pretty famous car they nearly had a fit but let it in, in the "X" class!

So my point is, take some time, look around to see what you can do. Since spring is here and racing is starting up, used cars will be at a premium until next fall I imagine. Good luck.
