Hello everyone, after going back and forth with my conscience I have decided to do the LS3 swap, and I will be parting out the Turbo motor and all related parts that I wont be using with the Chevy motor. (It is a strong motor and everything works very well). My knowledge of these cars, (while I am learning) is negligible at best so I was wondering if someone with experience in this type of thing could help me out with the whole thing. What I need is pricing information, and a good list of what i wont nee any longer. Thanks in advance for your help.
As a side note, I realize there are people on the board that don't like the idea of the swap, and to tell you the truth I'm not either. But what I need is cost effective reliable horsepower. And that just isn't going to happen with a turbo motor.

I will be starting the tear down next week sometime. I need to set a goal and just dive in.
As far as the motor mounts are concerned, if they are good, I will sell them. Not sure I want to sell just pistons and rods though. Id probably be more apt to sell it as a long block though...

you just saved a 944 from certain death. God bless you.
a hard search of our two 944 forums will reveal many threads on this topic, but you can begin here....
one of the better ones so far.

What is the condition of the wiring harness? I would love to take that off your hands. My car ('86 turbo) is showing more and more electrical problems every time I drive it.
