Rocket, thanks. I have a great running 1983 944 manual and I'm looking for a donor car for parts. I found an 85.5/1 automatic in a junk yard that is the same color, interior, etc. So, I'm trying to determine how much of the junker is usable as a loaner. Sounds like a lot.
By the way, do you, or anyone reading this one, know if the 85.5/1 have forged rods and crank like the 83?
Thanks,
JBC
