Correct, Piranha bros. Garage is independent.
If you are interested in a drivetrain swap, we have a v12 1gz Fe and 2002 corvette Transaxle assembly in stock. We also have a wide body roadrace chassis and a complete 1986 5spd 928 if you need . Also doing Ls and Toyota v8 swaps.
Best regards, Dinsdale

Od, you're getting impatient with your necro-non-sequiturs- this thread's only been dormant for 2 months. You gotta wait another 2 years or so, to maximize the WTFactor of your posts.

Speedtoys, Dinsdale, etc,

Eric Hill/TPC is probably more well known on the 944 boards,

(but, with no intro necessary) to the two primary posters on this thread.

he's a good guy and I'm sure all who know him are sad to see him closing his doors.

rather than cluttering up the 928 board,

i elected to post to serve in the general v8/swap news in the alternate engine swap universe.

if this has caused the slightest confusion pertaining to the V12 monster,

you all have my humblest apology.

regards,

od.

Not sure how TPC has any relevance to Dinsdale's swap...

Necro-non-sequiturs. You made me work for that one! The definition is almost as confusing as the term. I think I understand now, maybe.
Does this mean you want to die in a v12 car? Or you want me to kill you with my v12 car? I don't think these are good ideas!
Maybe I'm still confused. Anyway.
Best regards, Dinsdale

Apologies, Dins- Od has this long history of reviving old threads, usually to add a cryptic or slightly off-kilter comment. It is unclear why he does this.

The kids call it necrobumping.

Just a thought, how much lower would that motor sit if it was dry sump?

A dry sump doesn't really change much unless you go to a smaller flywheel with multiple clutch disks.

Yes, I have a fresh v12, vette transaxle a lightweight widebody road race chassis with a rollcage, fuel cell and lexan rear glass. Also have a 86 5spd.

Customer bailed after we purchased the major components.
I think you need this one. Just choose the car you want it in.
It'll take about three month's to build it out. I'll even deliver it to you.

I don't think I can convince my wife to jump on the V12 train yet with a little girl running around in diapers around the house and the a garage.
