Hello everybody,
I was a little supprised to see this post still active, and I see the judgemental people are still out in force. Bottom line, it is my car and I love it,,,get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the unjudgemental people here is an update. I have tracked the car at Carolina Motorsports Park and was very pleased. The car really didn't handle any differantly than it did before the swap, I had changed to 26mm rear torson bars so that kept everything neutral. The weight bias is 63/37 which is the same at a 930 I think or real close to it. The brake upgrade works well and at a cost of around 1000.00. As far as drivability the car, it is quieter than a F6 at highway speeds, remember there is no fan spinning. And the torque makes it very easy to drive in traffic because there is plenty of torque to pull from 1,000rpm.
This car started out as an abused 76' 911S with a blown motor and a worn out trans. And if I choose to go Porsche power tomarrow I just remove everything, change the gas tank and replace the piece of metal that I removed and saved from the front of the trunk, since this acts to let air get to radiator. Then in goes the F6, I didn't even cut the wiring harness.
As for the cost I think I have around 7,000.00 in the conversion which includes 1,700.00 worth of gears and a overhaul for the trans. Clutch was kind of steep at around 700.00 for the kevlar disc and stronger pressure plate, turns out no stock Porsche 225mm clutch can handle 435 ft\lb of torque. The good news is that even if I blow a hole the size of VW in the side of the block the cost of repair is a joke compared the last Porsche engine I smoked.
I hope you all find this enteresting, and if you wish to post some more neg. stuff I really don't care I stopped being influinst by other poeple many, many years ago.
