589hp LS3-Powered Porsche 914

This 1970 Porsche 914 has been extensively modified by the Thomas family to excel in autocross competitions. Originally equipped with a small-block Chevy V8, it now features an LS3-based 372 cubic-inch V8 producing 589 horsepower, paired with a ZF five-speed transaxle. Significant chassis upgrades include a 935-style front end with Elephant Racing coil-overs and big Wilwood brakes. The car has been caged front and rear, maintaining a mid-engine layout and a lightweight build of 2300 pounds. Momo racing seats provide support for high-speed maneuvers, making this 914 a formidable contender in various automotive events.
