So it's green light on a 318, 340 or 360, just no 440's?

Will you look the other way if I shoehorn a 318 into a 914? http://www.914club.com/bbs2/style_emoti … shades.gif

You should be able to do a 318-powered 914 for $500, no cheating needed.

I think it needs an 8-6-4.  Variable Displacement just flat rocks, and a 928 absolutely needs a powerplant that makes use of finicky computers.

Too reliable....run a Daimler V-8 out of an SP250 or the powerhouse Simca Aquillon V-8....with Navarro heads....
