my two year experiment with building a LS3 73 Camaro is over! Couldn't get a shop to finish some things (and it wouldn't fit in my Garage).

I'm a Driver 1st & foremost, so it has been a grind to see a project going nowhere, so my latest pickup is

the Porsche 951 with LS is very well sorted, though it will get some TC touches!

I hate the Rear Center Reflector ( why do people put these on 944s & 914s? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

also want to put Side Mouldings on. a 944 is one of the very few cars that I think looks better with them

another thing about selling the Camaro, I sold it as a Roller, so I kept the LS3! I can make a duplicate of this 951 with side by side comparisons????

Good to see Paul (URY914) on the way back from Columbia SC yesterday! Paul used to be Neighbor, Great Friend & re-known 914 Transporter, but moved to Jacksonville a couple years back.

I think the 944 is the best base for an LS conversion.

Is that your "Waddyalookinat!?" Look TC!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

That 944/LS6 would be an interesting combo, assuming that the suspension is tweaked get the extra power to the asphalt, & to maintain the legendary 924/944/968 handling.

The LS Motors are very light and overall no more than the 4 cyl lump & accessories. The 951 Real Diff/Trans was rebuilt last year to the tune of $3500. It has 968 Sport Suspension pieces, Swaybars & Koni Sport Yellows

That is a great looking car, TC! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

Without the maintenance hassles of the 944 4 banger.

I love the body style but maintenance issues always put me off these cars.

Exactly John, regular 944 & Turbos especially Turbos are a maintenance nightmare. This solves that with a LOT More HP!

I loved your Camaro project but that LS motor in the 951 will be crazy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

TC,

Good to see you and thanks for the kind words. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Always good to keep in touch with 914 guys. You never know when you may need a ride home.

That is a car I want to drive.

I've wanted to do this to a 944 ever since I heard about the conversions a few years ago (though the conversion I saw had a weird bubble hood thing for the 350 small block and carb. Yuck!)

Its like Subaru engines in a 914 - it just WORKS.

Are you going to sell it and buy it back a couple dozen times? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

That Camaro was bitchin and the mods you were doing looked tasty.

My question is: How do you get that LS motor through smog testing, or am I thinking with my stupid California smog nazi brain?

These conversions are awesome! The one problem I have seen though is the power brake system modification is hard to solve. How did they do yours?
