Flat 3.2 Mule
 

I fell in love with the four wheel drive, four wheel steering M274 mule at a military show. Fixer-uppers are available sans motor(2cylinder flat air cooled)
I dream of upgrading the 911 to a 3.6........so what would become of the old 3.2.........

An intense fabrication challenge, but an incredible ride!!!!

Does anyone have stories or pics of porsche motors in/on anything other than cars? (barring suv's and porsche tractors)

If you managed to get them together i would think that you would want a better seat, and a big roll cage on it first.
then send us the pics :D

How about Helicopters and airplanes?

VERY, VERY cool 911/993 engine based airplane:

A snippet:

"These are very unusual and extremely rare Porsche 911 cylinder heads. These are genuine factory-made twin-plug heads originally used on the Porsche 933 engine used in the PFM 3200 airplane produced in 1986. The engine was basically a CIS-adapted version of the venerable 3.2L engine. The engine used twin-plug ignition to satisfy aviation requirements that dual, redundant ignitions systems exist on single engine airplane engines. The valve sizes are standard huge 3.2 valves - 49mm intake, and 41.5mm exhaust. The ports measure 41mm intake and 38mm exhasut - larger than the standard 3.2 Carrera engine (40/38). Note the "exhaust-ring insert built-in to the exhaust ports. Four of the set of six heads are in super-excellent condition and look almost new while the other two were obviously run, there is a buildup of extrenge color carbon on them (different than normal automotive applications). These heads appear to have a "knock-sensor" built-in (the 3.6 "knock-sensor" is mounted over the cylinders, and doesn't always work perfectly). As indicated on the photos, the sensor is mounted off to the side of the cylinder head. These heads came from the former"


Here's the Porsche powered Rotorcycle (Helicopter):
