Looks great Rob. You can move the motor back approx 1/4" unless you want to start hammering in on the lower firewall/bulkhead. T

With The QT BH there is less clearance as the BH curvature is different than the factory BH. No one knows what the GM 6 speed Auto trans will set at yet unless Dinsdale has a twin working on it.

The factory top radiator stay on the driver's side need to be chopped and 3.0" extention welded in...

Even lower profile pan I'll be using from Alper motorsports. Came with a pickup tube too.

[QUOTE=xschop;10214719]Even lower profile pan I'll be using from Alper motorsports. Came with a pickup tube too.

How deep is that pan & how many quarts ? T

xschop

5.75" total depth and 6 qts. Extra 0.5 Qts when I install the oil relo kit. I talked with Jason and it's a new design that they are in full production and will have new stock in 2 weeks. He's going to email me the part # and I'll post. He also said the new batch of pans will have an extra baffle for road race. Mine has a double trap door baffle as is.

The oil pan is Procomp # SM2676

Fit the motor mounts up after paint dried. VHT Hi Temp Yellow. I'm actually surprised that they sit parallel without having to heat/hammer the X-member in this area. I had to drill 1/2" dia. holes exactly 1.125" from center of the factory mount holes towards the fenders.....



Also surprised how very little rust is on this car. Where the spare wheel set and the battery box had some light rust. After wire-brushing everything, I made a soln. of rust converter using flat-black Rustoleum brush paint and 15% Phosporic Acid.....

The factory MC volume lacks when it comes to the Wilwood 6-pots. So I'm installing the trusty LS430 monoblocks (4x43mm pistons) until I can mod up a Corvette master cylinder later.... The OB spindle has the same radii geometry as the 87-up 944 NA that I put this same setup on. So I just had to tweek the design some for the OB spindle ear offset.......

Make sure you have your seatbelt on. T

xschop

Tony, I think the seatbelts and dash will be the only thing "factory" in the interior.....





Luckily Stainless braided 944 lines fit the 928 and the LS430 calipers.... I had a spare red-coated set...



16" 993 wheels fit the Boxster-S rotors with this caliper......

Rob, The seatbelt reference was to hold you in the seat while braking with those monsters. T

very pretty

Dry humor on my end Tony. I removed about 100 lbs of more unnecessary rear seats and all the padding which was alot heavier than the 944 padding. The 928 has an extra 1/4" thick rubber mat on top the heavy foam padding.

Factory seats are gone and next I'll be building some race seat rail adapters for another 60lb total weight redux.

Cool, I pulled approx 200lbs out of the GTS. T

Not sure what other people ran into putting aftermarket seats in the old 928, but here's what I'm doing...

Whenever I have worked with aftermarket seats on the 928 the center tunnel has an issue with rubbing on the seat or making it difficult to install or move it on the rails. Either the seat is too wide or the movement of the seat changes so you need to sit in a different position and the center tunnel collides.

Especially if you have an early car where the seatbelt female module is bolted to the center tunnel. Which is 78 and I am not sure how many more years.

If you physically move the seat over to the outside of the car, I would wish to be careful to monitor how you are then sitting to have your body set for the pedals.
