Gogar is probably the winner. Still laughing at those baby poo fence videos. OddJob sure got piled on.

Did you see it somewhere before, or were you able to figure it out??

That is just wrong.

It still has the orignal rear shock towers and transmission crossmember which were the give away. I just recognized those.

"Do you have what it takes to work at renegade hybrids?"

"Yes. Yes I do." Bob mused.

Doesn't jibe. Except for the quality of the interior. There is bright yellow over-spray on the rockers. Not a single missed spot on the following pics.
And those tin can 'reinforcement' pieces 'welded' in. ho lee cow. .

Yellow = the lift arms.

The boxed rockers being the frame and the rear crossmember gave it away for me. But still i was thinking that cant be right.

Andrew15 (remember him) put a Nissan V6 from a maxima in a 914 and I raced it at Watkins Glen and Brainerd… there were issues but it was a lot better engineered than this POS.

230 HP in a 914 was very, very nice.

Here, hold my beer while I go out and put a SBC in the rear of my Jag. It's got plenty of room.
No, make that a FWD Northstar Cadillac. I won't need a drive train.

There’s a guy down in GA with a Lexus V8 in his 914.
Looks good in there - and the car scoots.

I have seen several small block Chevy engine swaps in a 914. Not one handled worth a damn. They would accelerate hard in 2nd through 5th, but first was unusable.

It is a lot of work, and really makes for a mostly crappy car. No doubt a few have done it right. The Factory built two 914-8s with a 908 engine squeezed in there, and the museum still has them.

In the end, it is just a car. An abomination of a car, with a V8 in it, but just a car.

Found this abomination perusing FBM.
