Thanks, after a few hundred dollars on tune-up stuff, we decided it was getting a V8...the electronics are just so unreliable.

There is a few SBC's that have been put into those cars but IMO that is simply destroying the car.
The Bosch management system can be a little finicky but is solid.

Oh I agree, I've argued with the hubs over it and since he is the mechanic I'm kind of stuck.

Is the car issue with the engine management or with the body stuff. The reason I ask is there is a lot of VW in the pre 85.5 944's. They are basically re-skinned 924S's

Good morning folks.

The girls in the ZZ Top video is just like the membership of the local El Camino Club. Yea, that's the ticket. Sure, the club is not a bunch of Grey haired geezers, it is chicks like in the ZZ Top video. Sure Really!

Janet, I have mixed feelings over your yanking out the 944 engine, but I can understand the rationale. One of my friends has a SBC in a 951. The original turbo engine was constantly crapping out on him at the track, so he went for a more reliable lump. I would think the 944 engine would be more solid.
