You make it sound so easy but won't it be a very unreliable and underperforming car with na suspension, brakes, axles and trans with 350hp on tap. I've seen a few LS swaps and the ones I liked had at least $10k into the build and started off as 951's. Btw the 924 is a fair few pounds lighter than a 944, especially the later 944's.
