I think people are always interested in something like this but when it comes down to shelling out $$ for it the story changes. 327 doesn't help. I'm sure it is a good motor but these days LS motors are what people want in a swap. 901 gearbox also not up to the job of the higher TQ. Have a customer who has an LS1 914 and is a driving instructor who keeps stripping teeth off of gears without abuse, he is upgrading to a Boxster transmission now as we already built him a "renegade" box with cryoed (sp?) gears etc. trying to make it stronger, broke 3rd gear again.

Really all comes down to how much you are asking for it - price it well and it should sell but it is a unique car so even at the right price it may take a while.

Good luck.
