Karen's avatars are fun; with all the exposed skin, *****, and ***... usually involving Porsches, etc....
and for those few poor blighters who aren't accessing OT....

Karen has more of them ( is one of them her??), but yours are of the highest quality.
Subscribed also, Dinsdale and xschop are heroes.
I've got a 6.0 iron block LS in a 'burb that is in surgery. Wish it could be harvested for one of ithe 928s in the driveway. Strong engine but it has eaten two flexplates. Going with a TCI drag racing plate, hoping to finish that adaptation tonight. Be very careful if looking to harvest an iron 6.0 LS. The crankshaft end length changed in early 2001. Not sure which xschop is using on his setup?? The hot rodders want the 2001+.

the 944/68 enthusiast forum has been in a steady decline for the past few years..... the 968 is holding it's own, but it's a low-production car without a lot of owners posting about their rides... but for the big turbo restos and dedicated work of Rob (XSChop) on these V8 swaps, we'd be left with little more than a junk car swap meet (on the '44 forum).
the LS engines have brought new possibilities to the agile, underpowered 944/68 money pits.

I'm installing a short stroke LS7 (388 c.i.), like this one, w/ all the forged goodies, etc,
http://www.vetteweb.com/tech/vemp_12...oke_of_genius/
only without the race cam... just an LS9 cam (added lift), ported LS3 heads,
LS3 intake, 1 3/4" long tubes/ w/ smooth y-pipe collector into a 3 1/2" exhaust.

Landseer, please post a crank end dimension if you know it. This basic kit I designed fits an LS based engine whereas the crank end (holds pilot bearing) sits 0.400" closer to block than previous SBC/LT1 blocks. Holler if you need a Quality kit.
As for another local 948 that I built parts for, he installed a boneyard 6.0 and we tried to break the chromoly axles. That swap worked perfect on the LS kit with the 1.00" pilot adapter. IIRC it was an 04 but he did a cable T B swap

Q: what goes slow and blows 2 H20 pumps in 6 months costing me thousands of my hard earned $$$$'s?
A: my ****house 968 Variocam!

There are a lot of those engines lying around for those looking to do a V8 swap on a budget.

That's the same 5.3 I had in the 948 with a Z06 cam. I tried killing the engine as I had a couple spares. In the 944, I could walk on my friends C5. Best $700 engine ever.

Rob,
Some of the early iron LS engines have a longer crank flange. Am looking for a dimension chart, I saw one posted somewhere.
Mine has a standard crank, but simulates the early engine with a removable 11 mm spacer. If you get one with the solid long crank flange, it wont mate to anything except the 4L80E trans. Hotrodders want the short flange version so it mates to a wider range of trannys.
See picture of removable flange in this thread.

Sounds just like the Early block cranks on an LS casting.
Honestly, for the factory 928 front springs the Iron block is actually still lighter than the 928 engine. So spring setting can remain even. That said you should be able to do the swap for $4-5k . you'll need an LS car intake to clear hood.

OK found that my aftermarket oil pressure sender is 3-160ohm and close to factory sender after searching. Question is what wire is oil guage hot wire at 14 pin? (78 model)

Drifting
1999 and 2000 LQ4s are the only LS engines with the thicker crank flange. Later LQ4s and LQ9s just have a spacer on the back of the crank to get the 4L80E to mate up correctly.
LQ4s with the extended crank flange are easy to pick out as they have iron heads.
