    "917" based on 914-6 for sale!!!

    13 Bats, you are correct, the 914 is a mid engine car and nobody flips the ring gear on those transaxles. I was talking about that melson car the other night being based on the 914 six. Had 914 on the brain. When i was telling you about my plans for my laser, i typed in 914 for my transaxle...
