Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
I had been thinking about a 944 project also. I like the body style and the reputation for handling. But now that I've read this I'm kinda glad I haven't really looked at it too hard. Mainly based on the things you have said about the failures of these cars and costs to keep them going. I like what you're doing with it.
I used to own an 83 Toyota celica and really like the shape of them also. Very similar to the 944 I think. It had the same R22 engine the trucks had and I always wondered if the sbc conversion kits they used for the trucks would work on the celicas.
Which now has me thinking that there may be some toyota options for a drivetrain swap into a 944, such as a supra turbo 6 cylinder. Or the sbc swap, and there may even be LSX swap kits available for those now. The toyota stuff can be pretty cheap and available too.
Anyway, was just thinking out loud, err, through the keyboard. Carry on. Looks like a hell of a fun project.
