1970 Porsche 914 Chevy V8 305 Conversion. Comes With 2056 Big Bore 914 Engine on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
|
This is a 1970 914 that I have owned for the better part of 13 years or so. I purchased the car from Georgia and it is VERY rust free. When I bought it, I was told there was zero rust. After an extensive search, I found a small hole in the driver floor pan and that is all. I purchased the car with the v8 conversion already in it. It appears to be a PorChev conversion which I believe is what Simpson originally called the conversion. When I bought it, I was told it had a stuck lifter. which turned out not to be the case. I pulled the engine and found what was really wrong was a rocker arm had come unseated and was turned so it was not making contact with the pushrod. I didn't know at the time I was ordering parts, so I got a performance cam, and new lifters. Along with that, I added a Pete Jackson Gear drive to get rid of the timing chain. The car also has a Weber 4bbl carb, Edelbrock performer intake, and headers going to cherry bombs. There is a Kennedy 3800 lb clutch. I converted the car to side shift. As you will see in the video, the car runs and sounds strong, but I doubt seriously that it even has 2 hours of run time since I put the engine back in. You should expect to do some dialing in on the engine as it breaks in. I would also not try to drive this car home. If it stalls, the starter suffers from the dreaded 914 hot voltage drop and can not crank the engine. I have a relay kit for this but have not installed it. Also, I was never able to get all 4 barrels open. You will need to modify the throttle linkage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-0zeYh7Ktc&feature=youtu.be is a video of me starting the car on 7/28. The battery is totally dead so you will see jumper cables going to my Escape and the car is not washed or cleaned nor is it in the pics. I am selling this car because I am moving 3 hours away and have no more garage. You will see I am selling my other cars also if you check my items for sale. Along with the car, I will be including a 2056 914 engine that is complete except for the exhaust and air cleaners. Here is a link to my finding of this engine http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=233104 This engine I just bought a couple months ago for 2800 then paid for shipping. The engine is like brand new with just under 30 miles on it. if you want to convert the car back to a type 4 this is the way to go. If not, sell the engine. I have numerous people asking to buy the engine and I do not have time to unpackage this. I have to be out of my house by 8/15/14. Here is a link to all the info you could ever want on this engine. Keep in mind it is the engine, carbs Weber 40 idf's, and accessories. There is no trans or exhaust in the crate with the 2056. Here is an email from the man(Euro911) I bought the motor from - The car is in good shape, there is a star in the windshield. The interior is complete and is about a 7.5 to an 8. The flares are fiberglass and the 5 lug conversion is adapters. There are gt bumpers front and back. Stainless brake hoses. An extra targa top is in the trunk and there is all the stainless trim for the sail panels. Any parts that I have extra will be included. The extra engine is in a crate. I can take a picture of the crate if you want, but I don't see how that will help. This is quite a package but it is as is and there is no reserve, the car has to go and it kills me to do it. Calling me at 410 215 9577 is better than email as I will be very busy. I don't have time for non paying bidders on this one so please be legit. |

2017 Porsche 911 Carrera experienced from the passenger seat
Sat, Sep 26 2015Autoblog joins Porsche for Rennsport Reunion V at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the fifth international gathering of all things Porsche. If you've ever had a picture of a Porsche on your wall or dreamed of owning a certain model, either that very car or one just like it is here. Watching three 917 racers blaze over the rise at the front straight and down into turn one can make a viewer think, "So this is how Steve McQueen felt..." It was a modern Porsche that delivered one of the highlights of the first day, though: we rode shotgun for three hot laps of the track in the new turbocharged 991.2-series 911 Carrera S, with Thomas Krickelberg, director of powertrain for the 911 model line, our pilot. We cornered him and August Achleitner, vice president of the 911 product line, for a few questions about the changes. What do you call the standard 911 now that it has turbocharged engines? Carrera. If you're wondering what to call the standard 911 now that they have turbocharged engines, the answer is: Carrera. Krickelberg said, "In-house we call them 'little turbo' and 'big turbo,'" but the Carrera is a model line within the 911 model line, the big boy 911 Turbo is a second model line within the 911 family. One will continue to be called Carrera, the other simply Turbo. The move to turbocharging came to serve the twin kings of performance and fuel economy, but engineers played around with numerous configurations. A non-turbo engine displacing about 4.0 liters – that's as big as the 9A1 engine block can go – was considered, but that setup couldn't deliver the desired fuel efficiency. Krickelberg said engineers considered a small-displacement block of around 2.0 liters, but that was abandoned because "takeoff behavior was worse" because the turbo was called upon to do too much of the heavy performance living. Krickelberg added, "Not only that, but there was a too big a gap between real-world fuel economy and homologation fuel economy." Base Carrera and the Carrera S models haven't used the same engine displacement since the 996 series departed at the end of 2004. Achleitner said, "We found 3.0 liters is the best solution to get the best mix of fuel and air in combustion chamber - it offered the best geometry, bore and stroke, and the size of the walls.
2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder marks the return of something great [w/video]
Wed, Apr 1 2015Welcome back, Porsche Boxster Spyder. We absolutely adored the previous version – a roadster focused solely on driver enjoyment and simplistic perfection. Heck, we didn't even care that it had cloth loops for door handles. And this new model looks to (somehow) offer even more to love. Let's start with that engine: the 3.8-liter flat-six tuned to produce 375 horsepower and mated exclusively to a manual transmission, which powers the Spyder to 60 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 180 mph. But power isn't the only thing that makes the Spyder package so great. It uses brakes from the 911 Carrera S, is the lightest Boxster in the range, sits 20 millimeters lower to the ground than the standard car, and still features the manually operated cloth roof from the previous car. And it looks fantastic. Fan-freaking-tastic. Inside, there's a whole lot of nothing, and that's just fine with us. Want a radio? That'll be extra. Air conditioning? Open your wallet for that, too. Seems odd in a car that'll start at $82,100 when it goes on sale later this year. But once again, this Boxster Spyder is a tactile sports car whose only mission is to offer outstanding driving dynamics – comfort options are optional, but not necessary. We can't wait to get our hands on this one. New York International Auto Show 2015: World Premiere of the Boxster Spyder New top model in Boxster family Atlanta. Porsche is highlighting the 2015 convertible season by celebrating the world premiere of the new Boxster Spyder. This pure sports car will make its debut at the New York International Auto Show. The new top model of the Boxster range retains the unique and unmistakable character of the previous Spyder, which has already attained cult status. For example, the classic roadster top is still opened and closed by hand, and the Boxster Spyder is only available with a manual transmission, benefiting both weight savings and driver enjoyment. Staying true to roadster DNA, the Boxster Spyder offers a traditional sports-car driving experience combined with truly exceptional performance. This includes a firm sport suspension with a 20-mm lower ride height, brakes taken from the 911 Carrera S, more direct steering, and a 3.8-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with an output of 375 hp, culminating in a genuine sports car experience with outstanding driving dynamics. It is the lightest model of the current Boxster line, and the most powerful Boxster to date.
Trump calls Germans 'very bad,' vows to stop their car sales in US
Fri, May 26 2017TAORMINA, Italy -Talks between President Trump and other leaders of the world's rich nations at the G7 summit on Friday were expected to be "robust" and "challenging" after he had lambasted NATO allies and condemned Germans as "very bad" for their trade policies. Trump's confrontational remarks in Brussels, on the eve of the two-day summit in the Mediterranean resort town of Taormina, cast a pall over a meeting at which America's partners had hoped to coax him into softening his stances on trade and climate change. According to German media reports, Trump condemned Germany as "very bad" for its trade policies in a meeting with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, signaling he might take steps to limit sales of German cars in the United States. "The Germans are bad, very bad," he reportedly told Juncker. "Look at the millions of cars that they're selling in the USA. Horrible. We're gonna stop that." White House economic adviser Gary Cohn on Friday confirmed the reports. "He said they're very bad on trade, but he doesn't have a problem with Germany." Cohn said Trump had pointed out during the meeting that his father had German roots in order to underscore the message that he had nothing against the German people. Trump's spokesman Sean Spicer said Trump had "tremendous respect" for Germany and had only complained about unfair trade practices in the meeting. Juncker called the reports in Spiegel Online and Sueddeutsche Zeitung exaggerated. The reports translated "bad" with the German word "boese," which can also mean "evil," leading to confusion when English-language media translated the German reports back into English. "The record has to be set straight," Juncker said, noting that the translation issue had exaggerated the seriousness of what Trump had said. "It's not true that the president took an aggressive approach when it came to the German trade surplus." "He said, like others have, that (the United States) has a problem with the German surplus. So he was not aggressive at all," Juncker added. In January, Trump threatened to slap a 35 percent tax on German auto imports. "If you want to build cars in the world, then I wish you all the best. You can build cars for the United States, but for every car that comes to the USA, you will pay 35 percent tax," he said. "I would tell BMW that if you are building a factory in Mexico and plan to sell cars to the USA, without a 35 percent tax, then you can forget that." Last year, the U.S.
