What RarlyL8 said. It's just a car.

I'll add to that a little peice of forum wisdom I've gained over the years: Don't Drink & Post. I'll bend that one a little bit if I'm just in a good mood after a few beers. But I never, ever flame anyone on this board; I have a much more juvenile-oriented forum involving videogames for that, where flaming is tolerated a little more.

The guy wants a cheap, reliable motor in his 911. What if the 911 in question has a blown motor anyway, and he needs to replace it? If he can score a working 3.6l Buick engine for $400, and drop that in rather than buy a rebuilt Porsche 2.7 for $2000+, then why the hell not?

Give him a break. Purists and intolerance are about the only things that make me sick around here. We've seen everything from V8 conversions to electric 911s to Geo Metro engines being dropped into these cars. It happens. Get over it!
