as i said, merely a daydream... and it seems controversial just to pull the 944's motor anyway, considering how it's so tractable and suited for the application.
but when and if i get the cash to do it right, i'll certainly give it a shot... or at least think about it some more. i fear that i'd have to use a 996 motor, because the 944 doesn't appear, in terms of facial openings, to have proper air flow for an air cooled motor, unless grills were added to the hood.

This is a post on the wrong forum obviously, but the thought of a 911 motor in a 944 just seems even more outrageous than the v8 conversions.

Wouldn't the flat six be to wide for a 944, not to mention extremely expensive?

Just daydreaming here, that's all.

If you WANT to throw money away buy an older Ferrari. or a Lambo- they are even worse.
Been done- worse than lighting Benjamins on fire for cheap cigars.

To do it right you'd want to put the flat six in the back of the 944. Never mind.
