Saw a 928 engine for sale on Craigslist last night if anyone out there was thinking of doing a conversion. It was only $700 and looked complete. I'm very tempted but with a small garage and things yet to finish on my car, I'm going to pass on it

Scored cylinders are not THAT common and can easily be checked with a scope prior to purchase of a used motor.

The biggest issue is the water lines on the v8. But if you put some custom fittings on it then no worries.


I wouldnt do a 928 motor in a 914 if you paid me to take the motor....

For me the v8 choice is Cayenne or Audi 4.2 if you want to keep it in the family.
