that's what i was thinking.... i know it's "porsche's only" but at which point it stops being human... i mean, a porsche?
10%? 30%? do the flat four subaru transplants count?  (technically, if you avoided tech you could just run it and let everyone else wonder  )

I was told when I inquired a few years ago that it was up to the region. That in reality it would depend on the turn out and if they "needed" more cars or if it was fully attended. You'd be kind of like spare change if they could use it. PCA suggests that a Porsche by definition must have a Porsche made chassis and a Porsche made engine. I wonder how many 914's are running VW engines or 912's for that matter?
Long live the V8 thread

I'd like to see a Wankel conversion... very light wt. and small engine + lots of hp and a unique sound. Only drawbacks are the low gas mileage and low torque.

Do we have any Hollywood Types on the board that can do a soap on this . Porsche Fever, or The Guiding Porsche, How about The Porsche and the Restless.
I was thinking of The Electric Porsche myself,,, maybe a VFD driven 500 HP GE with a looooong extn. Cord.

cool! maybe it would even scare the "factory5" crowd
__________________ dave 1973.5T Well the funny thing is I have 2 friends with factory five cars and they ARE scared, the 3.6 0-6 and the rest or just silly numbers for the cobra replica, on the street they can't get them to hook up as well. And both are running 400hp plus. Granted they sound cool, but I am running a short stroke chevy DZ 302, 10.5 1 rollers and all alluminun parted and polished heads, solid mount yadda yadda, the 911 V* sounds like a bat out of hell and make the hair stand up on the back of mens necks stand on end. and little kids run scared. I figure 400plus sitting in a 2500 lb chassis with of course the Perfectly stiff Porsche transmission, I did not build it cause I was cheap. The DZ pistond andcrank run 1000-1500 all day on ebay, and the rest off the mods and machine work mean i'm stting on 10k all day in this conversion(engine alone) I can buy a 3.0 with webbers and SSI's i saw yesterday for 5800. I built this car cause I wanted to. 400 HP revs to 7500 RPM and sounds better than a cobra running through sides pipes. Oh yeah and a torgue curv that can snap your spine like any turbo out there. I've seen the dyno rune for all these built motors, show me a dyno curve that lays flat at 300 from 2500-7500. To the question of can I run it, I wouldn't. I don't feel thats in the spirit of PCA, i would love to take it out and enjoy the track, anyone should be allowed to do that. But compete, thats just not fair. DE why not. I consider my self A Porsche file first and a car guy second, I love my Porsches more than any other car, But with tht said, its the car that gets the least amount of attention. I've had a 64.5 ragtop mustang and VW Beetle convert 73, within the past 2 years as fun cars for te weekends, and whenever i go anywhere they collect the everyman crowd, real geuine nice peolpe that you would enjoy to talk to on a regular basis. I have a red on black 3,2 carrera that most people won't even look at me in because they Assume I'm some pretentious porsche jackass. HMMMMMMMM. By reading all 30 pages of this thread I can see why. If your gonna let boxters on the track, or 914's with 3.2's, and a whole slew of non original Porsches, why not a bad ass 911 v8, this is a hobby and all in good fun!!!!!!! |

Agree 100%, I really like the looks of some of those V8 conversions and would love to see some Wankel's done!

My region (Rocky Mountain) has a specific rule excluding non-porsche engines from any DE class. It also excludes non-porsche cars so I believe this means they cannot run. However, it permits non-porsche engines in specific concours classes. Go figure.

Dgraphic911's Conversion is absolutely astounding. It's not a hacked in V8. It bolts right up to the original motor mounts, Tranny (with a adaptor plate)for a very clean install.
The area in the front of the tub where alot of people cut for a oil cooler is where the radiator is mounted. All of this is incased in a very nice housing. Air comes in through the front spoiler and exits out the bottom. Returning it to a Porshe engine would be a piece of cake because nothing has been altered. It looks like it could have come from the factory, it's that slick. Sounds incredible.....

...I think you could do without the supercharger when dropping an LS-1 V8 into a 911...

Is an MSD made by porsche?
Are PMO's made by Porsche? Fiberglass Slant nose? 72 targa into a 996 convertible, but it has a 2.4 PORSCHE engine so it must be OK? RX 7 oil cooler? Cheapo's get a porsche unit! Oh yeah maybe they do that cause its cheaper and better. RS's clone going for 45K on ebay, hey its a clone!!!!!!! Turbo Look, no engine? OH my god this post is like freaking crack, is ther a way we can have Pelican remove it. I actually think noone really cares but its way to easy to start this argument. Die Thread Die Die thread Die |

Why don't we convert this thread into the worst Porsche hybrid you can think of. In fact, just state that you're already doing it - whatever it is - and incite some riots. This will keep the thread going another 6 years...
So for example, I have a 1956 356 Carrera Speedster with only 10,000 original miles, originally a museum car. Now I'm working on transplanting into it all the mechanicals from an Acura RSX Type-S. And I'm adding clear turn signals and a 1,000 watt stereo.

Comments like these only encourage more interaction... Perhaps popping in a 928 motor in the back of a 911 would be acceptable too? Keep it German baby!!!! Live thread live!!

I'm putting a 2.5 Turbo Subaru motor into a '70 911 S. Still a boxer engine, right? I'm also putting 20 inch chrome spinners on it. And doing a fiberglass slant nose conversion w/boxed rockers. And having it repainted with large metallic flake paint, in lime green. Early S bling baby!
Live thread, live!

WE MUST SEE PHOTO'S WHEN IT'S DONE!!   In reality, Renegade has a new conversion I saw at GermanAutoFest that might wake some of this crowd up! The Subie WRX motor in a 914... 300+ hp, and 40lbs. lighter than the original 2.0 motor from the factory.....
