Talk about "off topic"! This thread has produced a first - unsubscribing! Every time I read the latest response it has nothing to do with the OP's question.

V8s like this,V8s like that,I have 4 flat engines,one of which I will install eventually.And yes it is a Porsche.
A discussion of options,just was informed Mueller had a VR6 installed longitudinally.Way to go Mueller.
Simply avoid thds that upset you.If it doesn't blow your skirt up,don't have a hissy fit.

What more is there to add to the original question?

Nothing, it has all been covered...

If you were even to consider a rover v8 I would have to point out the following, unless you use the later model fuel injected range rover engine you would be getting 60's technology, no strength in the bottom end and just a small increase in hp from a decent 4 cly, and oil leaks beyond any that porsche could ever produce. We've been using them here for years and the only way to make a good one is to throw large amounts of money at them. lexus v8's are a good engine if you could get one to fit and are engineered from factory to be capable of excellent hp. ( the speedway boys are even fitting carbs to them and getting 500hp ) but the best v8 by far is the LS range. these are narrow, light and easy to get parts for. just my 2c. P.S. glad to see things settling down a bit on this thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

"returf" Has a valid point,as a neat package of modern DOHC 32V can be had at a low cost from the JDM.
The ecu would likely have to be ditched as they are tightly integrated with the vehicle's systems.
A dropin with some fabwork for the cradle+headers+cooling+++.

Limiting an engine purchase to the ubiquitous LS series discards the low cost solution of these abundant medium V8s.

What a ripoff for that adapter plate.... I can see a few hundred dollars for $30 in material...this guy is just raping people that don't know any better or must be the only person making them.

I like seeing the oddball engines and options from veekry9, he is a little off just like me!

The old-er stock (pre-2004) LS1's redline at 6k; my LS3 redlines at 6500. However, I never have to get close to the limit (shift light is set at 6100) due to the mountain of torque available.

Regarding non-Porsche drivetrains being allowed to run PCA A/X events...generally yes. Now, PCA "club racing" is an entirely different animal. Only Porsche drive-lines/components allowed.

I couldn't agree more. I had a big 4, didn't like the driveability so I switched to a six. I am also a fan of v8 914's though I have never ridden in one. From a gearing standpoint what is the red line of a stock aluminum ls1? I noticed the peak hp is around 5800 rpms.
Curious about the other politics. Does PCA allow non Porsche power plants at an Autocross?
I wish I could afford two 914's. One with a v8.

Did someone say Porsche drive-line/ components allowed? Appearing at Porsche Club events very soon...

Seems like a reasonable price as long as the bores are intact.A re+re of the bearings and rings with a topend rebuild and you have yourself a sang pur Porsche 914.
Other than 918-S,who has seat time in such a renn blaster?

It's labour intensive work to fab the patterns to ram the sand and heat and pour the metal for a small batch production,essentially an under 20pc demand per annum,if that.The price reflects the exclusive nature of the castings.They refuse to make them at a loss.

This thread reminds me of the end of Terminator, when the Terminator's legs have been blown off, and Linda Hamilton is so relieved, and you're so relieved, because it's finally over, there's no way that killer robot is coming back from this. No. Way. And then. Hold on. What's this? You gotta be kidding me? Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

One of a kind,strange stuff and without luggage space for two,so a limited utility car,no doubt powerful.
