Start with Renegade Hybrids in Cali. They make the entire kit for conversion. Be very wary of the wing mounted radiator, most that have tried that have failed. The Renegade stuff does the least "hacking" to the 911 and all can be converted back when you regain your sanity.

Most don't understand that a Porsche flat six makes power totally different than Detroit iron. In my opinion the SC chassis, the suspension components, half shafts and even the G50, can't handle V8 torque. Sure, they will for a while, but if you beat on it parts will break.

There's a lot of personal engineering that goes into one of these hybrids and you need to be pretty good to pull it off. I've been rebuilding my '78 for a long time and considered the V8 thing but it was more than I wanted to take on.
