It's like a mini-Camaro . . . sorta. It'd be a hoot to put a modern Turbo I4 in one of these. There's tons of suspension and aftermarket stuff for them. This would be a fun project car.

No, no like an Evo. I was thinking of putting a turbo busa in a 914 though. I figure you could get the weight down to like 1,500lbs. At and easy screaming 300hp that'd be a hoot. I think a 13B (JDM Rotary) would also be cool in a 914.

With twin turbos!

I've seen one of these with a small block Chevy in it. He was at a cruise night years ago so I never saw it run but I would think it would be like dropping one in a Vega.

I was at my friend's house standing outside and I heard this loud V8 vehicle coming around the corner, thought it was going to be a lifted truck with an exhaust system. Turned out to be a little white 914 with a SBC. He lives in YL, thing must be a blast to drive.

Is there some reason this is in the motorcycle section? I'd move it but I don't want to upset the forum Gods.

I think I've rolled up on that 914 when on my bike. It's pretty mean sounding. Uh, didn't I put this in the 4 Wheel section? It was pretty late and I was doing other things at the same time.
