Sometimes to gain perspective you have to look at the problem from the reverse side. I dearly love my 79 Sc for what it is. Would never think of doing the V8 conversion. That doesn't make the conversion wrong. However, my point is: (reverse)...How many Camaro or Mustang conversions have you heard of where they have taken the Chevy or Ford engine out and replaced it with an engine from a 928 (v8)or tried to stuff a 911 engine in one? Or dear God...American sacrilege...stuffing a 928 engine in a Vette??? I think its because the name Porsche and the distinctive styling (not to mention the high price of admission) make the car desireable (very). You stick a V8 in to replace a blown engine...(low $ replacement for a hight dollar one)...So you drive a "Porsche"...(ummm maybe!!!) Sort of like glamour shots photos...can make a real "dog" look great!!!! (hope I didn't offend anyone...just my 2 cents)
