944 Powered VW Golf

I don't have much info on this car, I just saw the pics after contemplating putting my old 944 powerplant in my brothers VW Cabriolet.

Hope the pics work.

You'd think they'd have gone with a turbo powerplant instead of the N/A... but that's me...

I don't know if they could of gotten a Turbo motor in there. It looks like a pretty tight fit with just and N/A motor in there.

It seems like the NA is putting out enough power for him anyway!

What's cooler is that he did a RWD conversion. He already doubled his headache by putting the 944 engine in, why would he want to quadruple it with one out of a 951?

There was a Rabbit or Golf several years ago that had a 928 drive train and interior in it. It had been widened to accept the V8 and wider dashboard.

looks to me that a 951 engine would fit.......a 944 engine barely fits in a 944, looks like THAT would be easier to work on. i feel bad that he went through the conversion just so that he can not have power, and pay more for parts to boot!
