Fred, yea, have done the jag conversion too. not a big deal. IMHO the wiring was a Piece of cake.
BWMac: yea, that ranger must have been sweet, the 327 is a great mill.
But guys...We are talking about a 928 here. Not a Ranger, Jag, or MG. There will be issues and they will be big. You can shoehorn a mill in there with a plate and glue it into the frame with an adapter plate on the cheap, yes. But, to do it RIGHT and professionally will take some time and head scratching. Like I said, I haven't seen it done right so far. Not to say SOMEONE hasn't done it professionally and competently. Lord knows there has been a few years to do so.
Find a good example of the conversion and simply ask how much it cost. I am reasonably sure it is more than 3K if it even exists. (funny how no one actually addresses that little point) Further...TIME IS MONEY. Blowing several months of your life on a transplant project just doesen't make sense when it could be spent chasing women, drinking excessively, or whatever floats your boat.
But, we are digressing here.... My point is that to do it right would consume more time and money than a straight 928 engine swap AND a nice Detroit Iron project, say a Camaro. IOW if you want a 350, by all means have one! and if you want a 928, have one! Have BOTH! it is a semi- free country after all.
