Porsche fans around the world cry copious (and salty sweet) tears whenever someone takes an aircooled 911/912/914 and shoehorns a Chevy V8 under the hood, but what about the unloved Porsches from the era of the front-engine watercooled P-car? Yeah, nobody sheds a tear when those go under the knife...whatever, I love stupid engine swaps no matter. Find this 1987 Porsche 944S offered for $5500 in Helena, MT via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

See a car with a bigger exhaust pipe? tips@dailyturismo.com
how long (time & miles) has that engine been in the car and how was the Chevy 350 shoehorned in? what about the accessories like power steering , AC, transmission, clutch, suspension changes due to weight distribution? How about getting it registered? George in Toronto

Deletelove V8 944s!!!!
ReplyDeleteI bet this drives more like a 69 nova than a P car.
ReplyDeletedont Porsche-istas bid up the prices on these phone dial wheels? seems like you could significantly offset the purchase price if you parted these off this Porschev.
