The following is photo documentation and proof that the Porsche 914 can accept the 928
Porsche engine as an option for the Chevy conversion. You can have 8 cylinders and keep
your 914 all Porsche!
The regular posters of the 914 bulletin board on the Pelican Parts site seemed to have
named my conversion car the 918. I kinda like it and plan on making a replacement script
for my tail light panel.
The 914 started its public introduction as a hybrid sports car. As most of us know the
team effort from Porsche and VW brought us one of the finest development platforms ever
produced. The lack of an iron clad contract between these two manufacturers caused this
entry level car to rapidly rise in price and without the performance enhancements of the
American and Japanese sports car market. Despite the inequality in performance these cars
are still incredibly sought after. In our relentless pursuit of performance we've tried a
countless number of modifications. This only proves that the chassis never reached it's
true potential during it's production run. The 928 conversion has been done before. There
is a reported recent sighting red 914 in Colorado during the summer of 1999. This car has
vanished. There is an feature in a 1990 Porsche Panorama on a completed car. The builders
of this car stated that they felt they needed to stretch the wheel base 5" because of
the length of the engine. My conversion leaves the wheel base stock. If your considering
this conversion please be aware! Cutting is required! The following photos are not to be
viewed by the purist. Of course if your considering this radical hybrid option.
BUCKLE UP!!
