I puked a little in my mouth. I am not anti motor swap, but that is a travesty. _________________ 1987 951 - M193 Version for Japan |

The cast iron motor isn't a problem but the original brakes? That's flat out dangerous! Those were marginal with the 4 cylinder.
It doesn't show any pictures of the frame so what does he mean by "done right"?
I have seen more than my fair share of hacked up v8 conversions, even one on e-bay that had a Jag IRS under it that looked unbelieveable! (bad I mean) These can be built well and safe. Look at mrmad's car. Very nice work! Look at the cars on http://www.porschehybrids.com/m or applebits for that matter.
With alunimum heads, aluminum intake (I have FI) aluminum water pump, mini starter and headers with the CGTS front bumper and headlights the car is lighter than original. |

Hey Chrenan that 'puke in the mouth' thing made me laugh - very funny.
Yeah it's pretty much a monster. |

The things I hate the most are the automatic transmission, the disgusting interior, the hood and front valance. It just does nothing for me. I'd rather have a bone stock example. _________________ 1987 951 - M193 Version for Japan |
