Post Feeling the heat!

I know i am going to get some heat from this that'll make a oxy/ace torch seem like a cigarette lighter. But today i had another one of my i'm bored at work and coming up with more crazy ideas i can't afford. I was curious as to whether anyone has ever tried to transplant the 996 motor into a 993,964,911 before? And does it work well, radiator placement, engine fitment? <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

There's a 993 (GT2 I think) race car with 996 engine in it, pretty awesome & bloody fast!
I don't remember who did it though.

Seems like way too much work. can't see why any one would embark on such a task when a 993 w/ Mahle 3.8 P&C's, new throttle body, New Chip provide more power w/ less weight and a whole lot less work probably be less expensive too.

I just started riding again after a 30 year layoff and wishing I hadn't (a lie) as I've crashed a few times riding on the trails. A tree jumped out in front of me 3 weeks ago and I hit my head so hard on the tree or ground, I thought I broke my neck. Still hurts and I can't ride for awhile. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Larry,

I actually made it by going to a sign shop we use at work and told them what I wanted. Just put a blue base down, a red top piece and then the lettering. Here's a better picture.
