Busybee Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 So, the weekend drive to Boxengasse and looking at all those very cool cars in the car park got the "what if" thoughts running again. If I could make my mind up I'd be so much happier! lol I really need to make use of the 3.8 lump I bought off Axel. I think it should go in Daisy! Its awesome as it is. likely be even more awesome with more power and more torque. I really need to put Daisy's 3.2 lump in my 912E left hooker shell and make another hotrod. Discuss pro's cons and put me out of my misery - please! lol If you agree with the above, who do you guys recommend to screw the 912 back together and rebuild the gearbox/strengthen (if needed) to take 270hp? I'm looking for a turnkey solution really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Citizen Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I like the logic behind your man maths, sounds a very reasonable plan to me Just wait until you buy wheels for cars you don't have then you're into advanced level man math's 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP72 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Id do it the other way - beef up the 912 shell to cope and create a sleeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybee Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) 🤯 Wouldn't 350hp (ish) be nuts in a narrow ultra light little car? Plus a 915 in there (or a 901 or whatever it is). Edited August 25, 2020 by Busybee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is can he face the prospect of having Daisy off the road and not being able to drive her for an indeterminate time.?

May need to seek psychological help 🤣 It did nearly kill me during lockdown. I snuck in a single blast after 6 weeks in the silly hours of one morning. One of the best drives I've ever had. Nothing and I mean nothing on the roads. Bliss! But funnily enough, popping the engine in as a transplant is kinda of a weekends work as long as we line the ducks up right (according to @jevvy). Then its a trip to see Wayne for pops n bangs. Job done The 912 is a different matter and one I'm hoping I can find someone with a good enough reputation to uphold, who'll help put it back together properly and without ripping me off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interior is just gorgeous. Exactly what I have in mind albeit with a thumping 3.2 in the back (or a monster 3.8 🙈). Wonder if it'll be worthwhile financially too . Can't see what that car made at close of auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 you would spoil the weight dynamics of a narrow body with a big lump in it. I'd stick to a snarly revving 3.0 on carbs (or maybe the 3.2) but not 3.8. Agree that the 3.8 could work nicely in the Red Baron though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
