Interesting idea! Along the same vein, I chatted with Bill Frey at Restoration Designs today. Turns out he makes a metal piece that's just like the outer longitudinal, except it's made just a bit...

Adding frame strength

I'm looking at ways to make a super-strong 914 chassis. In other areas (like aircraft) they'll use a sandwich of two layers of light metal around a foam core. The core contributes significantly to...

V8 Q: Hydraulic Shifter

In searching for both better shifting and more flexibility in installing V8 engines and transmissions, I've been toying with the idea of developing a hydraulic shifter. Not really wanting to...

V8 Q: Anybody got Frame Alignment Specs?

I have a severely rusted 914 with an existing fiberglass body and V8 conversion. The front has been so weakened by poorly designed cut-outs and rust that the chassis has shifted under the fiberglass...

Thanks. I've already been in touch with Michael on that subject. His solution doesn't work for me for another reason, which is that I'll be using a fiberglass front end that doesn't have provision...

V8 Q: Flat Headlights

I'm looking to build an autocross car that's also street-legal. In adding a V8, I need to gain some room in front (for twin radiators), and so I'm interested in making all gone with the pop-up...

V8 Q: Stronger Trailing Arms

To hold the power from a strong V8, I'm interested in using the hubs, bearings, and brakes from another car, probably either a 930 or 928. Problem is, the bearings won't fit in the trailing arm of...

V8 Q: Frame Reinforcements

Yes, I'm aware of the stiffening kit sold by Pelican, and I've heard of others with similar, if not the same, kit for sale. But for a strong V8, I think these kits are really not enough. What have...

I use a "Smithy", just such a combination. It's been quite good for automotive-level work, and adequate (if carefully set up) for the more demanding work of gunsmithing. Be real careful in...

Glad you brought this topic up! I'm getting embroiled in a V8 conversion on my first 914 right now. Bought the car long-distance, and got stuck with a rust-bucket. Pretty fiberglass body, and...
