Yes, that might annoy some 911 owners, but most will just say if that's what blows your dress up, go for it.

What's interesting is the fact that it's "98% done." Does that mean as soon as the guy got far enough he was already tired of it? Or realized he made a mistake?

The main reason people do this, IMO, is that they think the rebuild of the 6 is too expensive. Same with Jags. A Jag motor costs major bucks to overhaul. So, they dump a SBC in it.

The reasons not to do this are obvious: The weight distributionon the 911 is bad enough w/o hanging an iron lump out in the back, and the sweet sound of the 6 will be lost forever. This weight and soound problem is the same with the Jag.

I like same brand swaps myself. A 6 into a 914 is a natural, of course. And putting an LS1 in my Chevy PU would be awesome. But when you start crossing brands, I'm on my way to look at the next car.
