Well I was going to do the V8 thing. I build a 350 chevy which is sitting on a stand right next to the 914. I like that idea but don't have the coin required to drop a 915 style trans in it and KNOW I will break the 901. The 924 motor would be lighter, rev better and not break the trans. It also would still be a Porsche. I would use a Kennedy Adapter. The 924 Turbo Trans might work. The Starter on the 924 Turbo is on the BACKSIDE of the motor just like the 914 vs. the frontside of the flywheel like it is on most cars including the 924 (non Turbo). I'd use the 901 trans so I wouldn't have to mess with linkage. I've got a set of 11" rear 916 flares and 9" fronts with the 916 bumpers for this little project.
I wondered if anyone had done it. 924 Turbo brakes are actually 911 front rotors and 928 rears. I was told I would need 911 struts due to the larger spindle (and Bearing).. My local wrecker wants $600 for some 912 pieces! I was thinking more like $50 per side... just for spindles.
