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. |

The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.
Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
Translogic 166: Porsche 918 Spyder
Mon, Dec 15 2014In the same month that Porsche announced that its 918 Spyder is sold out, Translogic is getting its first (and likely last) shot at the plug-in hybrid hypercar. Our drive starts off in a very civilized fashion as we tour the 918 Spyder's e-power and hybrid modes, but the fun really starts when the naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 engine roars to life in sport and race hybrid modes, augmenting the electric motors with an additional 608 horsepower for a total of 887. We even attempt an impromptu 0-60 test to see if we can match Porsche's gobsmacking official time of 2.5 seconds, but sadly we don't have the room to make a run on its 214-mph top speed. Watch as Translogic host Jonathon Buckley pilots this Porsche around an airstrip in Irvine, CA, with a focus on the many driving modes that set the 918 Spyder apart from anything else in the storied automaker's history.
