Post Water Cooled 911

I haven't seen one before, although I have not really been looking.

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2416928632&category=10156" target="_blank">eBay</a>

Best of both worlds, or the worst of any?

Well the 996 is water cooled.

As for V8 conversions, talk to "George 911-V8" over on the 911 boards. He has a 363CI Chevy motor in the back of his 911. From what I hear, it's scary fast. But he gets a lot of flak from other 911 owners/Rennlisters.

I saw a kid putting a small block V8 in an old duck tail...He had to fabricate a radiator and piping in the front of the car.

Well I am sure it pumps out alot of power, but part of owning an old 911 would have to be the air cooled thing... just makes it cooler... no pun intended...

A Porsche must have a Porsche heart. It may be a transplanted heart...or an upgraded heart...but it must be a Porsche. I don't know what this is, but it's NOT a Porsche.

I really like Chevy small blocks, Good engines, easy to hop up and very reliable. I have built dozens of them, but would not drop it to any Porsche. Let's keep Porsche as Porsche and Chevy as Chevy !
