WOW! That is EXACTLY what I needed to see! I NEVER would have thought of running the cable underneath. Thank you so much! I would love to see drawings if they are available. You made my day!
I was thinking of running it through the front firewall where the radiator is then sweeping back with a large loop, then along the center spar and then up the front of the gas tank at an angle and then passing through the rear firewall at the height of the intake.
I need advice on routing my throttle cable. I have an SBC and an Alien intake. I'm not able to get through to Nelson Racing Engines for advice. I've got the Tilton 600 pedal set. It seems like there's going to be a lot of bends and brackets to fabricate. Any help would be great!
Wow, I see you ran a carb too! How does it run compared to FI? My valve covers are already black anodized. I was thinking about drilling them and using an -8an fitting for a fuel tank that has teflon washers rather than weld. Do I really need a baffle?
Thanks for your help by the way!

I have owned about 1(0) 914'6's Several that I converted from 4's and a couple factory. I even owned a 7000 original mile 914/6gt It was a BLAST! I owned two that had SBC's also. It was amazing how well the engine fit back there and that the car actually felt well balanced. They (sbc...
Hi Cam, Thank you so much for the response. I actually am running a custom SBC with an alien intake. I'm learning that I need to do a lot more research before taking any action. I never imagined I would have to drill my own valve covers for breathers (catch cans) or PCV's. I thought when...
I was watching some videos and the builder was talking about "steam ports" from the high point of either the radiator or his intake? I'm new to small blocks.
