Anyone know of any of these that have beeen converted to a rotary power plant? I know it can be done, most likely someone already has. Also the after market on these cars is huge. I want to get one after my Fd is done in the spring. I was just wonndering if anyone had any opinions?

Actually I found a place in Cali that has done the Rotary conversion. So Looks promising that it can be done.

A friend of mine has worked on one in his shop. He told me about it and that it was in rough shape and needed a re-build. He knows the owner.



I'll ask him how the project is going. Any questions you want me to ask?

the 914-6 is a BEAST! Very cool car.



Fd3BOOST - I'll ask Mike if he still has the car and if the owner wants to get rid of it.
