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. _________________ 1987 924S Guards Red

Jesse,
I dropped a 968 engine in my 924S. The only issue was the brake booster which I had to move up about 2 cm to clear the intake manifold. Not sure if this will be a problem with an S motor. Other than that, it was a direct bolt in

Great job, I've got to try that some day!
Is the 968 motor an interference motor? Are you running the belt covers? _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"

Yep, same basic engine as teh 944, only 3L and with variocam.
I don't run the belt covers, but do run the undertray. _________________ Tim
