914 V8 Blown Monster
Posted by PATRICK MOTORSPORTS on
We were asked to build one of the wildest 914 V8 cars ever assembled!
Here it is fitted with a Blown "World Product" Motown all aluminum 427 small block Chevy with Air Flow Research Billet heads, and coupled to our inverted G-50/52 Turbo 5 speed gearbox!
Here is another aspect of our complete build, we had to hand fabricate a cover for the blower drive system.
Drivetrain installed in the finished frame, you can see the headers have been Jet Hot coated to help keep the engine compartment temperature down and add to the stunning appearance of this installation.
THIS SHOWS OUR REAR TOE ROD ADJUSTMENT KIT - PORSCHE 914 - INCLUDES ROD SYSTEMS WITH SPHERICAL BEARINGS, ADJUSTABLE HARDWARE, PRE-MODIFIED AND POWDER COATED CARRIER BRACKETS AND 2 STEEL WELD IN ROCKER MOUNTING PLATES. THE FACTORY REAR ADJUSTMENTS ARE VERY DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING TO DO. THIS KIT MAKES THE TOE ADJUSTMENT VERY SIMPLE, WILL GIVE YOU BETTER CONTROL FOR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS.
