I have the BMW unit and have it mounted in the stock location. I also have power steering.
The Mustang hydroboost is just a Bendix unit and was used on lots of cars and light trucks. _________________ 84 944--924 Carrera GTS clone w/520HP Chevy 302 V8--RUNNING!

I've accomplished quit a bit lately. I got the headers ceramic coated and installed, I found a very nice set of Euro front turn signal lenses that are correct for the GT/GTS; I now have the parts for the fuel injection so no carb now and I have the body together enough to begin body work and paint prep. I am using a FAST EX-EFI Retrofit Kit to control the FI. I need oil cooler lines, ign wires and to install the harness and I can fire it up.

I'm getting close to starting the engine. I need to install the wiring harness and the FI harness. I pre-lubed the engine (checked for leaks in the remote filter and cooler) and set the ignition timing.

That's a nice Porsche name plate. Along with the cam covers, it makes the engine look like the little-known and rare Porsche 302 V8! _________________ 1981 932 with mods:

It runs! First start today. The sound quality isn't too good though. In person with open headers it sounds like a Pro-Stock.

Reminds me of my old Mopar days. Sounds odd coming from a Porsche. |

I bought them from a place in I think Germany. They are OEM 937 pieces. They were a little pricey though.
I don't remember the name off hand so I would need to look for it. _________________ 84 944--924 Carrera GTS clone w/520HP Chevy 302 V8--RUNNING!

I'm starting to get the body ready to paint. Bought tires too.
Looks like I am going to need to re-index the rear torsion bars--sits a little too high. _________________ 84 944--924 Carrera GTS clone w/520HP Chevy 302 V8--RUNNING!

It's in color! I need to put on the decals before I clear coat the body.
