I saw one of these at Lime Rock this year. It was the first time I had seen a 914 V8 conversion in the flesh. It was impressive, but it looked a little crude and not like something you'd want to drive very often. I didn't think much of it until I saw this car...
This car looks good and appears to have been done right. It's not a car you'd want to commute to work in everyday, but it would be fun to take for a blast through the mountains on the weekend.

No matter how much work you do, anytime you put a big V8 into a car that was designed to have a small 4 in it, you're going to change the dynamics of the car. I can imagine that this car is a handful to drive. That's not bad... With new cars you don't really "drive", you just sort of "aim". There's very little skill involved. Every now and then getting behind the wheel of a car that's a bit of a challenge to drive can be an enjoyable change of pace.
