I think his is a 914-6.  Some have 916 emblems.  I don't know if it's something they changed during some year or maybe they are slightly different cars or what.  His is 914-6 VW Porsche - because it was a joint venture between Volkswagen and Porsche.  Oh, you know, I think the 916 has fender flares and different airdams and such but is the same platform.

We're putting a Subaru motor in one of the 4 cyl cars.  About 150hp.  That will be fun!

6 cyl one should be a 916, correct?

That is not mine. But the 914 is on my list of cars to have. That belongs to my friend, Rick. The motors are at his house. He has 5 or 6 914s. One is a 6 cyl. They are fun to drive and can be made pretty quick.

Charlie,

is that your 914?  Haven't seen one of those in years. My soccer coach used to have one, when I was 13, and he would take the guys on wild rides in it. I think that could have been the beginning of my interest in sports cars, although I went British.

If you're interested in selling the bellhousing on the left engine, I'd like to know.

I will guess the car was a 58 or 59, based on the engine.

Here they are!

What year is the car 3 speed? I actually need some measurements of a '56 3 speed to I can "adjust" the T-89 before I pull my 3 speed out. Like input shaft length, over all length etc .. I hate to wait until I pull mine out and then start measuring things.
