Should I pick up another 944
That was running and driving with a 350 swap (motor and trans removed) for ~$500. I don't know the condition at all...its about an hours drive from me but I am considering taking a look.... I think 4 944s, my moms car, my passat, my brothers accord, my motorcycle, and my sisters accord make a crowded driveway 
I think if the motor was just removed and everything else was left in place, it shoulld be pretty straightforward to stick another 350 in there....If I pass it up, anyone else interested?

Ouch. Salt on the wound of a hot topic sharky. 
Mike,
If all you have to do is plop a 350 in there, do it. They're cheap & you could have a ton of fun with it. Maybe even flip it to a new owner when its done for a profit.

Haha, join the club - I have five 944's, one 924 (parted out shell), and until a few weekends ago, a 356B in our shop.........
We ALL have a problem here!

You can't have enough!
Just keep buying 944s until the goverment tells you to stop. It is easy to collect 944s, but close to impossible to sell them at a decent price.

Ohhhh it has a "turbo hood"
931 hood w/ NACA duct??? Can't wait to check it out. And yes it was running and driving before the 350 was pulled out.
Mom says I have to get rid of at least one (preferably 2) cars in order to bring this home. Anyone want a nice, ALL maint. done early 944? Silver/linen...
a 5.7L 944 sounds freakin AWESOME. Makes me want to lift the 350 I'm building for a drag vette at the shop...

i may be new to this kind of community but... are you talking about dumping a ''chevy'' 350 in there?? a V8 from an other manufacturer???
i suppose it has already been done, but how hard can it be?
