177hp, 155+MPH, and 113MPG! All from a 5sp AUTOMATED Manual Diesel with less than .20 coefficient of drag, weighs around 1400 lbs.
I have seriously considered getting a 914, and using a Kennedy Engineering flywheel & adapter to mount a VW idi (1.6 or 1.9) or early 1.9 TDI (AHU) diesel engine. The 1.9 idi are good for 115 hp/130ft/lbs, the early 1.9 TDIs are good for 130-140hp. That could make a pretty cool commuter car.

Then again, I've thought about doing the same with a 911. Heck, they already have two tanks for a vegetable oil conversion.
