"Last time I checked this is the 911 Porsche forum"

Thats funny, because a 911 with a Chevy V8 is still a Porsche 911...

Maybe its not as the factory or designers intended, but it still doesn't change what it is...

I can see the purists not wanting to cut up and modify a classic, but when there are so many 911's that look so similar (1967-???), whats wrong with wanting more performance, more "exotic" looks without the expense of a "true" Porsche engine? You must really hate the guys that want to actually race these things, because they might wreck them...

As for the Chevy engineering being crappy... thats a joke... Sure, maybe Porsche puts out a technically superior engine... But the basic architecture of the small block Chevy remained unchanged for almost 40 years... Is any of the design that Dr. Porsche designed still used? I doubt it... Look at all the different engine styles used in Porsches... Sure the conversion might be a little crude because the engine weights and compartment sizes are different, but its not like somebody having the engine hanging out the hood, etc...

Its still a Porsche, and will always be a Porsche...
