Took the advice (thanks) and just registered.
My name is Terry from just south of Baton Rouge.
I own a modded '87 944 turbo and an '87 944 turbo track car project.
Just recently gave my son (16yrs) my "ex" daily driver of 10 years, yep, you
guessed it
, another 1987 Porsche 944, but in this case the car in question
was/is the 16V 'S' version. All of the cars above (and others through the years)
were built from previously salvaged cars for reasons ranging from fire-engine
damage-body damage.
I'm off Sunday with a trailer to pick up my first 914 project....!
Don't know much about them yet, but I'm an auto-tech in the transmission repair biz
and have built many cars from the ground up, so, no worries right...?
The low compression of the 1.8 and 2.0 (don't know which engine is in the car I bought yet
)
looks prime for turbocharging.....
Can someone start me off with a bit of info to identify the engine at a glance...?
Been lurking for a few weeks and looked through the engine #'s, but where exactly
is the # located or can I tell immediately from the VIN...?
Thanks,
