What would a thrown rod sound and look like when at speed?, I would want to be at least a mile away.

The suspension might need some tending to, but it'd be one hell of a cool stainless steel exhaust system.

You'd need stiffer springs in the back, to accomodate the extra weight.

THere would be your difficulty, Wayne. I don't think there is a 914 tach with a 100 rpm redline... The horsepower sounds adequate, though..

The biggest problem I see other than suspension issues (How do you suspend 4 million pounds?) is having to lug arond the fuel tank as a trailer (1600 gal/hr burn rate). Besides the engine alone has a weight to power ration of 44:1 which is not stellar.

Have you thought about a blown Chevy 350 in the front of the 914 as an option?

How do you start it? You'd need an APU off a jet!

Wayne, more realistically, you ought to dump one of these in the back

600+ hp should about do it

I wonder how they'd build a cool collar for that engine. I'm sure someone will think of something.

Just make sure you get the updated one that makes better power at 104 rpm.

actually, someone listed their 914 on your site here wayne, and it has a V-8, some serious power coming from that one...I know the purists will be horrified, but I wasn't...it's just a Gruppe B

That is CLEARLY a ferrari 12 cylinder engine in the making. Those are Enzo's gnomes working on it that only make it look big.

Child labor was outlawed, gnomes are not protected.

Free the gnomes!

They even threw some Korean writing in the backround to throw off the APFTC (Assoc. for Protection of Fairytale Creatures)

Hehe...that's cool! I believe Juan works with those big diesels...he could probably chime-in about them.

Talking about complicated machines, don't forget Deltic diesel previously mentioned on PP:
And you think rebuilding boxer-6 is complicated?

Nah, too undersquare. That thing'd never rev when you took it to the track.

It probably does okay in the torque dept, however.
