why are you not putting a LQ4 in there? I just finished building my truck to 600whp for just under 5 grand. $2400 stroker kit bringing it to a 409, $800 cam and valve springs, $500 headers, $200 intake, $400 LS2 heads and $200 for injectors. Oh and its only 35lbs heavier than the LS1 block.

 

how much TQ you putting down. My Cousin had a disel with the banks system dynoed at 600 hp and 890 TQ Monster!

 

Thats a torquey motor for these transmissions.

 

Friend of mine has a LQ4 in his 280Z, and another has a turbo LQ4 in a fox body

 

First:
I'm assuming you're talking flywheel horsepower, or you haven't dynoed it yet. Cammed LS7's make about 550rwhp (that's more displacement, better heads, dry sump, etc. etc.). I really doubt a smaller LQ4 will crest 475-500rwhp naturally aspirated.

Secondly:
I wouldn't want that much power in a 944. I have enough trouble keeping 285's sticking with ~400hp.

 

Post up your dyno of this na engine making 600whp.

 

LQ4 and LQ9 fitted many times, got to use the fbody or hovette intake

 

thats what gonna be going in my 951, but its gonna stay stock,minus the intake.

 

If it is like the L33 truck motor you have to swap the accessories for F-body units, the intake has to be changed, it is heavier and the car motors make more power stock. It is just one less problem when doing the conversion. I was going to use an L33 until I found a good low mile motor out of a GTO.
