LMFAO. Only if you could figure out how to put the Uni body on a Corvette chassis, I do not think you may be able to fit the engine in the front and change out the transaxle to a rear end drive train. A 914 is just a Porsche body with a Volkswagon mid engine transaxle system.

Probably may be done. Decades ago I read that someone put a V8 into VW bug Of course that eliminated the rear seats where the engine protruded into.

Will the bonnet line, accomodate the V8 ?

OK, it,s a little usless to put a V8 in a porsche 914, because it'll become lots heavier, and unpractical, it is lots better to find a 6cyl, porsche engine, and change it into a 914/6

Just to let you know it was done to a 911.

At Roebling Road Raceway when the Porsche clubs are there for their Driver Eds a little speed yellow 911 shows up. It has a Chevy V eight engine in it and it's hilarous. sounds soooo unlike a Porsche.

Oh, and we generally remind the man he can not do a PCA Club race in that thing.

Meanwhile talk to your mechanic about brain chips. and forget historic racing if you put one in on the 914.

A flat six from 2.0L to 3.0L could be a better bet.

Porsche's at high revs sing.American V8's at high revs are stressing out and making terrible noises

I've seen it done, and the result was seriously fast for less than what it could take to get a good Porsche flat six. The Renegade Hybrids kit is your best bet for an easy exchange. If you're feeling more adventurous, you could get a Kennedy Engineered merchandise adapter to attach the engine to the transaxle and fabricate the rest yourself.

You can change any of them, but it is like putting make up on a fat chick, "Just a waste of make up".

it will be super fast if you may be able to get a lighter v8. those v8s will own the little six bangers.
