Swifty,go for it. You may have missed my post 944 LS1 but the short of is as follows. I was at Mosport a few weeks ago with PCA and was working the grid and noticed a red 944 turbo with a tall wing going like blazes and only it didn't sound like a 4. It was a LS1 worked up to 450+ hp in an 88. The car was found as a rolling chassis with big brakes. Speaking with the man it was apparent this is a pretty easy swap. I had my eyes on a derelict 86 turbo but I'm told the better chassis is the 87 or later, preferrably with M030. The car began as a street machine but now it has a full cage and will probably be only a track car. The owner strongly recommended anyone wanting to go this route should start with a stock engine and upgrade as required, except for the pistons as they have a tendancy to grenade.

i might go ahead and do the conversion later after all the bull**** with money is cleared up, theres no way in hell they are taking my car, or anything of value! i just talked with a financial advisor today, so im glad that happened at least. if all goes well ill be getting around 5k$ so i gotta try and hide that somewhere, but with all the friggin computers it will be hard. i wanna put it into my car, but the better looking it would get, will be a sure fire sign that "hey this dudes getting money from somewhere"

After i pretty much restore the car and put all that money into it the state would sieze it! i have to have surgery and any assests i might have affect how much help i will recieve. sooooo this would be a very bad time to do this!

Enjoy the car for what it is. KBB is not very good in determining the value on these cars. If you wanted to sell the car its definately worth something to a 944 fan out there, possibly as a track car or a daily driver.

i tell ya what if push comes to shove ill sell that damn car b4 i let the state take it away. they still think i have my chevy tracker. Everytime i drive the car it kills my right arm, when i shift. Thats why im teachin my sister the shift patterns! so in preparation im selling all of my ****(thats worth anything) sold my two other cars, and trying to sell my stereo. non of this **** would be a problem but ive been in a battle with the state trying to get disability, so they want my whole life story practicly. and any assests to which i might have. bastards
