Not really much of a conversion if it can be done completely with factory Porsche parts. With an OB, 78/79 CIS car using the Euro S 80/83 cis intake, its going to be hard to tell it isn't factory without looking at the numbers on parts.
Mechanical part of conversion is almost always simple.
Building a hot rod is simple, as long as your OK with a light switch on the dash to start it, PepBoy gauges with the wires running out the window, wire nuts under the hood, radiator sticking out of the hatch, etc etc.
Hard part is getting it to a turnkey level of operation, starts right away hot or cold, all the sensors work, all the gauges work, drives smooth, nothing dripping, nothing making funny noises, and no amateur plumbing projects under the hood. In short behaves like a normal car except fast.
