it has been done, should be an almost straight bolt in plus ECU. Might have trouble with the Drive shaft, but you'd need almost the entire car to do it anyways so you would just swap trannies anyways.

Great job, I've got to try that some day!

Is the 968 motor an interference motor? Are you running the belt covers?

Yep, same basic engine as teh 944, only 3L and with variocam.

I don't run the belt covers, but do run the undertray.
