PCH, No Escape From Engine-Swapped Porsches Edition: VR6 914 or Corvair 912?

Perhaps you breathed a sigh of relief after Chevy-Powered Porsche Hell was over with, figuring that (with the small-block-motivated 911 winning so decisively) you would be spared the temptation of a hacked-up Porsche sporting a non-Stuttgart engine for quite a while.

And today we have another car that presented such a dilemma... but then I came to my senses and remembered that I'm holding out for a Warsaw Pact hot rod project: Zaporozhets with Tatra drivetrain.

Latest by n/a: Definitely vote the Kaiser Bun for PCH but come ooonn. If any of you guys think that hideous hunk of metal is cooler than any Corrado ever made, I don't even wanna know what you're smoking. more »
