Technical challenge? 930 in to 964 Tip

Hi all,

I have 2 complete cars, a 1990 964 Tiptronic which doesn't run and a 1987 930 with front damage.

How bigger job will it be to switch the 930 engine and gearbox over to the 964 shell, and what are likely to be my biggest challenges? I am handy with the spanners and have rebuilt a few cars in the past, but never really worked on 911's until now.

I assume the electrical/engine management may pose some problems, but will the engine and 'box bolt straight in?

Cheers,
Bryn.

I can't answer your question for you but would it not be easier to sell the 930 as is and old 964 engine for a second hand or rebuilt 3.6 engine?

Yes it would be much easier, but no fun!

Also the 964 is not a great example so turning it in to a turbo engined track car is appealing to me

Cheers,
Bryn.

The 930 engine with a 964 gearbox would be relatively easy and a lot more fun than the 4 speed. The 965 turbo's up until the 3.6's were just a 3.3 engine that still used the same CIS as yours.
