Nissan V6 in a 914
Hey folks.
I'm new to this board. I've always been a huge a fan of Porsche, the 914 in particular. I noticed that one of the members (Steve?) has a Nissan 300ZX engine conversion?
Right now I'm at a crossroads. I have a very temperamental daily driver that I'm looking to dump and I'm looking to buy a '72 914 to build up.
My ideal would be a Nissan 3.5L V6 currently used in the Maxima, Altima, 350Z and Infiniti G35's. This engine is a gem, responsive, broad torque curve and a screaming top-end, buttery smooth. Physically, the engine is small and very light, figures to be around 320 pounds.
I'm already know what the ballpark cost would be for a takeout engine ($2500). Does anyone know who makes custom tranny adapters for the 914 transaxle? This motor would be killer in a 914 without pushing the 914 transaxle beyond it's limits.

Check out Kennedy Engineering. They make all kinds of adapter kits for Porsche 914's. Their website is <a href="http://www.kennedyeng.com/" target="_blank">Kennedy Engineering</a>
There is another place called Granny's Speedshop that might be worth checking out as well.
Good luck!
