Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Looky what followed me home from 50% off day at the wrecking yard.
It's an L67 out of a 2002 Buick Regal GS. Several months ago I came to realize that I could not afford an LSX motor on my build budget. After a brief period where I considered Northstars, LT1's and L67's as alternatives I settled in on the L67 and have been bidding (and losing) on a few cars equipped with L67's on Copart.
Then Mother Nature up and decided to let some rain fall here in SoCal and suddenly I got an email from the local wrecking yard announcing they were doing a 50% off sale this weekend (due to the rain). So yesterday after work I scouted the yard and there ya go. Depending on what I find when I dig into this motor a bit - it will either serve as THE MOTOR for the 944 or as a parts donor.
