The stance on that car is messed up - look at the front spoiler first of all - bent out of shape. The car is tall enough to fit lake pipes - look at all the room in between the top of the tire and the wheel well!

I have to say that car looks like total crap. The sidepipes just look stupid.

Interesting point is that it looks like the power brake booster is still in place. It doesn't fit with a Chevy V8 in there.

Having sees the Class install LT1 at the VW-Porsche reunion- this looks very.. uh.. backwoodsy.

The Mustang block must be shorter, I noticed the booster as well. You would think they would at least detail the engine bay.

If that is a mustang block it darn sure isnt any newer than mid 1980s. That car looks like a total and complete POS. It is from cars like this that I say the V8 conversions SUCK!

and yes matt you nailed it on the head. the v8 conversions suck so bad because they are put together so poorly and half assed 99% of the time. (and yes.. they will and do devalue your car!!!)

looks like youd need the seat belt just to keep from falling forward out of your seat.

Ewwww. One of the last ebay V8s I saw was really well done. This one looks like a redneck forgot it was a German sports car, and thought it was a mullet-mobile. Those side pipes are horrid; the front fascia is all screwed up; the wheels and ride height are disgusting.

I'm all for the "to each his own" motto, and would love to chop up a beater 944 to CLEANLY come together as a V8 powered beast. This thing though... that's just out of bounds!

As much as i am a fan of big horsepower V8's in small well handling cars, I if saw this one on the road I would run him in the ditch, steal his gas, light his car on fire and cut off his mullett
