Pre 91 Engine into a 964T questions
Cross post from 964t board:
I've got an 89 930 cabriolet that just isn't the right car for this crazy engine i've had stephen build (roughly 600hp). Duh...
Anyway, I'm going to swap it into a 964t. Seems pretty logical as the 964t uses the same engine.
Can you guys think of any catches I'm going to have? I've thought of a few:
1) power steering - anybody tried an electric drive for this rather than using the cam? what does it take to swap to a manual steering box?
2) cooling (what's the best front oil cooling solution for a 964t? - is the fender unit sufficient for 600hp?)
3) ABS - is this a totally seperate box from the engine?
4) transmission - it's coming out of an 89 with the G50/50, I assume this is a direct swap into a 964t 5spd (is that the g50/50 too?) I"m leaving the g50/50 in the 89 and using the one in the 91.
Anything else ya'll can think of? Thank you!

1) You can buy an RS America power steering rack and bolt it in. Or you can run the GT3R power steering pump from PMNA which has only +12v, Ground, and an alternator connection.
2) You'll need a secondary oil cooler and will have to fab up something.
3) ABS is separate and will function fine
4) The C2T has a G50/52 and you'll need to change the flywheel, starter ring gear and the pressure plate. The starter is completely different between the 930 and 964 chassis.
