Did you do your car or did you buy it already converted or did you purchase the kit and install yourself?, what did you loose in sump capacity and what kind of fual system did you end up running, I assume that this is a 944 conversion, what header system do you have and what modifications did you do to the struts and brakes, I have been looking at Fiat brake conversions that have two callipers per wheel, front and back, this should stop warpage, and increase breaking effort. Interested as I have a 351 windsor lump that I have made to fit the torque tube and will be fitting it soon.

I purchased a Renegade kit, although a little pricey I would purchase another. I was able to install a 95' LT1 in approx. 5 weeks. I have driven the car 500 miles since completion and I really like! I still need to upgrade rear end and rear suspension to get rid of the squats from soooooo much torque!Porschevy Project

George-AWESOME CAR!!!!! next time im in N.O. i'd love to see that baby! (inlaws live in abita springs)the tranny is the original 5 speed- however i will be swapping to the turbo box for better ratios.car runs 185-190 degrees. i have a fluidyne radiator and 160 thermostat. air is not hooked up yet. car handles well but i still need to beef up the rear suspension when i do the tranny.
