What are the largest Engine and Tranny can you install into SWB
 

Hey Guys,

What are the largest Engine and Tranny can you install into SWB without modifying anything.

I know even 3.6 with G50 were installed into SWB tub, but this I guess were requiring to modify tube, rear seats, etc.

If you have pics, please.

Thank you.

A G50 will not go in without serious alterations to the rear torsion tube.

Any upgrade involving the engine or trans will require "modifications".

A friend of mine has a '68 with a Euro 3.0 and a 915. A really sweet ride.
For his car mods, maybe alterations is a better term, to the fuel system, ignition, wiring, clutch, instruments, and axles were required.

Gordon,
Do you have pics of the car?
Thank you.

You can put in pretty much anything you want... it's all a matter of how much you want to spend.

Up to 3.2 without major modifications.

Check out this video. It will give you some idea about putting a big engine into an older Porsche:

I would think a 3.6 with shortened G50 would "fit" but the axle locations and flanges may be an issue... A spiced up 3.0 litre with 915 would be plenty of power in that car!

Presuming with 915, right?

He's a member of PCASDR and is tough to beat at Qualcomm. Its a '68 with a Euro SC motor with headers and a sport muffler. About 200 RWHP.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1374106986.jpg

PVX built by WEVO is a GT3 powered 912 ;)

I bet YOU could make that work Dan! Considering he is an electric car salesman I would think anything that will go more than 25 miles before requiring a refuel would be an improvement... :D

I am not a salesman :D and my car can make 70 miles on 1 charge( $.50 cents), just facts...

Plus, it can outrun almost every gasoline car from the stand still... it feels like you on the take-off :D

Is the 901 will hold up or it be like Christmas toys dropped box inside...

I remember seeing a porsche with a Merlin V12 once.
I'm not sure the MPG was good...but it certainly got my attention!

Don't use first gear and keep the burnouts to a minimum. I had two 914/8s....kick in the ass.

Talk to Renegade Hybrids in Las Vegas. They've done every combo known to mankind on V8-Porsche conversions.

Of course every swinging concour weenie wanker will give you the schizzle.....but it's YOUR ride. Screw 'em.....
