Not sure if this has been done. Just wondering transmission wise what will bolt up? I know any motor can be converted with enough work. Just not familiar with the 944 motor's & what problems I'd run into. I haven't seen it done so that makes me think there must be something that makes it unpractical. This would be for my old v8 car. SO obviously water cooled is no problem for me. Plus it would be a Porsche drivetrain right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

just from a green horn learning from all the 914 was all set up around the aircooled boxer and all the serious handling from the boxer dynamics would be lost.
