Let me tell you - a low slung 928 is no match for a cow standing sideways in the middle of a dark country road. Luckily I swerved just quick enough to only have the head hit the top of my windshield before taking out 30 yards of fence posts. To make matters worse, the insurance adjuster who totaled my car wasn’t even sure who made Porsche and in Montana – the owner of the cow is not at fault if all the gates are closed. Although this restoration effort turned into a lot of grunt work, it was a real labor of love and even now I think this was one of my favorite projects.
Good Luck,

I've done more than a few conversions. Mostly Mercedes stuff and the great thing with them is they are, for the most part, max wired and all the mounting points for the diffrerent powertrain options are on every body. Easy to swap a 4 for a 6 or an auto for a stick. Most trouble you might have is radiator fitment.
I was so happy with the performance of the car. I can do TT bearings and clutch while I have it out and do the dash and whatever else when I do the swap. I was planning on taking the car apart anyway. This just sped things up some. Huge weight lifted here. I don't have to worry about the numbers so much now. Mason has done nothing but help me since I bought old red.
Mason, can you get me a decent price on those TT bearings and Clutch? Send me an email or something.
