I've been accused of being a Ford guy for years, but the 914-V8 has always been on my list of must-do hotrods. I really like where this one's going!

If you ever want to avoid some of the complexity of your power steering system, seriously look into electric power (avoids pump/leaks/hoses/etc.). I've had very good luck/experience with Unisteer's 4500-pound universal setup...

Wow, that is a nice system. I thought it would be thousands more ! Great find, If I don't like my system I will go this way.

This is a project I've wanted to hit for years. Will get there eventually.

Although the 914 has been replaced by a Cayman in my head.

Keep it up. One bite of the elephant at a time.

Any updates?

I'm close to getting it on the road, As you guys know Jeff "spode" does fantastic work. As I have said before there is no way I built this chasse. That was Jeff's very handy work. I am waiting for a cable shifter I ordered from "cable shift . com". Its a few weeks away and I have some more work to do to get this thing from being a walking ticket. I did drive it around the house in first gear and seems ok but we all there will be a lot of adjusting before its really ready to go. I still need a muffler shop to connect the Z06 mufflers I got used and a fire wall would be a plus along with a front and rear window, doors etc.

Very cool! Getting closer, only thing left to do is everything else!
Nice work...:clap:

Sweet 914
 

Makes my buddies Mag Block, RSR 914 look like a chump car!

Very cool John, glad to see it running. :hapdance:

The power steering looks heavy. Mini uses a all electric power steering that might save some weight. That is a great project.

Fantastic!!!!! Nice set up.
