This is a 914 board... 
It's doable.
You need the (complete) engine, trans, driveshaft (complete), shift coupling and anything else that has to do with the drivetrain. The spline-count on the shaft is different between the 944 and 968 driveshaft/clutch assembly. On an S2 they're the same.
You'll also need the DME, complete engine wiring harness, and a big fuching shoehorn to finagle the engine around. I would advise going with the 968's brake master cylinder and booster as that's a very possible tight collision point. I think there are issues making it work on the front crossmember in early 944s, can't exactly remember for later 944s.
And I think that's it! Guages should still work the same, but you may want to get wiring diagrams for both and do comparisons.

Its been done.
I saw a 944 converted to a 968 motor. It was a 944s owned by Barry Prangle here in N Cal. Don Wise can tell you more about it. Look up Don's Autowerks in Campbell CA.
From what I can remember, they said its much easier to convert a 944Turbo since most of the plumbing doesn't have to be redone. Find a 944Turbo with a blown engine and bat a bing bat a boom !

Let me know if you need an engine.
Byron, tell me more...

968 Engine, Everything to Swap!!
A PCA club racer has a 968 motor 1992 w/69,000 includes brain, harness fuel-rail, basicly everything needed to swap out an early car. The only thing he would take in trade is a 964 engine,but would sell outright. His name is Ray, contact him directly at

How about a Cayenne turbo motor into a 928?
