Here's my idea - if I ever do such a thing. Buy a junked up 911 - put turbo or RSR flares on it, wide wheels; probably 17-inch, and the above motor, or something like it.
My question is what 5 spd. transmission would work with it. If need be, yes, I'd use a 4 spd from a 930, but could that transmission handle 400 hp? Or 500 hp?
New or used engine? How much to rebuild? Any flaws in the engine that I should know about?
Also, suspension - with this conversion, probably some 31 mm torsions in back, 23mm in front. Konis or Bilstein Sports all around.
Main question: is the 911 even a good starting point for such a conversion? Or would something like a Miata be better? I know both the Miata and 911 are worlds apart, but I'm looking for bang for the buck.
I'm not interested in a 914 conversion as of yet. But I'm willing to listen to those who support such conversions.
