The VR6 physically fits in the 951 engine bay with room to spare. Once I have my 951 finished with a 951 engine (I still neeeeeed that shortblock guys ) and I find another good 944 with a blown engine I can do more work on this project. I dont want to make either my 944 or 951 into any more of a VW

If anyone is interested in seeing how much room there is with a vr6 sitting in the engine bay .. I can post pics up pretty soon

 

hey, i still have my short block.

I'd like to see the VR6 as well.

 

Interesting project idea. I will be interested to hear how this goes for you.

 

Why? How much more/less than a LT1 does it weigh? How much more/less power per pound of motor than a LT/LS motor is a VR6?

Why? Why fabricate everything from scratch when renegade already did all the measuring for you?

 

A VR6 isn't quite as sacreligious as an LS1. At least it's still German.

 

I like to see it . how much power will you have whit a VR6 on it ?

 

sure the block isnt made in brazil or mexico, or china by now?

 

Ditto! this sounds like a winning combination.
Also a great way to get back at the VW guys; for poaching 944 door handles, wheels etc....

 

yeah how easy would the swap be

 

I still want to put a 951 engine in a third generation Camaro.

Make sure to put a procharger blower on it as well. One of our techs has a VR6 transplanted into his 91 golf, with a procharger blower on it. 330fwhp.

 

Brian, lets do it.

 

Can you imagine how many fanboys we can **** off with once doing that one?????

If we did it I would say holy crap.

 

It would be beautiful.

When I become so rich and famous that I have more money than common sense, I will do this conversion.
