i have embarked on a huge project. i got a 73 porsche 914 for free it had one very big surprise though,. it was equipped with a 66' 327 i am restoring the car and parts are not so easy to find. i am only 16 and this is my daily driver. this car has a 935 looking body with huge mickey sportsmans i love huge tires! i droped a valve through a piston and had to pulled the motor only to find out that while sitting in the woods for 7 years one of the cylinder walls was cracked. so i had to trash the block. i made a few phone calls and found a 283 which had just been rebuilt. i wasnt sold on the 283 till i saw it was 4 bolt main. the motor was in some guys truck for like a month and he didnt like it he said is wasnt enough power, so i got the block and pistons for $125. a good deal. i have everything to build the motor so i wasnt worried. well everything is off at the machine shop to be cleaned up and ill have this thing running again. for such a small car a high reving 283 is all i need to beat all the rice rockets in fact i think i will name it the "Enola Gay" lol too bad none of those kids i smoke will get it but oh well Happy New Year to all
