Glad to have a V8

Hello

Porsche tranys are pretty tough and as long you donīt have to sticky rubber you canīt reach the "breakpoint". But on the long run the tranys get stressed and the bearings wander away and the contactsurface fom the gears goes more to the weak point. Those tranys also will sweat much oil and you know its over in the next time.

Porsche tranys donīt like to rattle.

Well, Since this thread has lasted a YEAR! I just wanted to add my name to this post, thats all..........

Anybody think about putting a Subaru WRX flat-4 in 911 (SC)? 220HP...
Thought I'd throw some gas on the fire...

[not_sure]

Havent seen this one on top for awhile.hehe

[Rot 911]

I'm think of swapping the engine in my 72 MGB into my 911. What do you guys think? What emblem should go on the engine lid? Will I be able to pick up as many girls?

Just an update,

Keith is rebuilding his V8 motor so that it can turn higher RPMs. He is also improving the cooling system and valve train.

I am not sure what to do to my car other than super-charging it so that I can stay up with that kind of HP.

The true test will be in Oct where we will be in the same run group at Kershaw SC (CMP)

My brother put a 289 in a '65 MGB, toploader transmission, appropriate rear axle.

Was this sacrilege? He says he drops the Corvettes at about 120.

Yeah, I seem to remember a guy with a SBC in a MG when I was a kid. A mechanic friend of mine was telling me about his VW beetle with a 454 and 915 transaxle the other day. A real giant killer. Nothing you would want to drive to church on Sunday though.

I have been considering putting my wifes minivan engine in my 911. Does anyone know where I can get a "Porschavan" badge for the front?

[Bob Albo]

I HAVE A BRIGGES&STRATTON 3.5 LAWN MOWER ENGINE SITTING ON THE SHELF, NEW, ANYONE WANT TO MOD THIS FOR THERE 911. HAHAHAH!
SORRY HAD TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Finadict, what valve train are you using?

"The sbc produces max torque at 6k (360 ft/lb) 420 hp at 7k. short stroke big bore, and long duration cam seems to work."

I am guessing solid lifters for that kind of RPM? Also how agressive is the cam? Also single plane or dual plane intake?

I can respect a SBC that can tag 7K redline

Pillow,
Most of what I remember about the cam specs is 3 years removed, the cam looks alot like the old Duntov 30,30 grind with a little more duration and split overlap yes it does lope. The intake is a Weiland Stealth, this is lower profile manifold that allows the use of the stock engine cover. Roller rockers with performance anti pump hyd. lifters. the cam determines the power range more than anything else. All the rotating mass was balanced to .1 gram. The engines been living for more than 2 yrs, it sees 7k all the time. If you look at circle track cars the SBC's live at 8K + ...pat

Thanks finadict!

I thought hydraulic would start floating big time after 6500RPM... Guess not.

[not_sure]

I forgot about this one. hehe

[emcon5]

It's Baaaaccckkkkkkkk.

The thread that WILL NOT DIE!!

[iustasail]

Does any one know where I can get a hydraulic motor that will work with the 901 in my 66' 912? I want to put a helicopter gas turbine in it that drives a pump to drive the hydraulic motor! Will I be eligible for PCA DE's? Would I be a poser if I put a Turbo badge on the back?

[H20911]

If you do....... I would like to see pix

[PorscheDV]

does anyone make a complete conversion kit for the toyota tercel engine, for my 930...boost is great and all, but i hate the lag...


(HAHA! finally got my name on this post! i didnt want to bring it back from the dead!!)

We all modify our cars depending on our needs at the time. My 77 911s has 86 Carrera flares, 85 3.2l engine, Carrera brakes, Bilstien struts, 7/8 Fuchs and an lsd out of an 86 915.
Ksa911 is just trying to work the same angle we all look for more for less.

[old_skul]

DV, there's a dude on the Pelican Motor City sites who dropped a 3-cylinder Geo engine - complete with cooling system - into his 911 or 912. Freaky.
