Few ambitious projects like this get completed, so I wish yours all the best. All I would need is an engine and transmission and I would be good to go.

Only issue was the hood needed a couple of inches of clearance at the front. After a few hours research i found i can use the BMW 635 hydroboost system, it basically uses the power steering pump supply to aid braking, quite clever. 1987 944 NA Own 1991 944S2 Own 2001 VW Passat, *2.7T S4 Swapped* Own 1985.5 944NA Sold to younger brother 1983 944NA, Traded for another 1983 944NA 1983 944NA Gave to my Dad for being Awesome. Fabricated from 1026 DOM steel, the Ground Control 944 strut is much stronger than the stock strut. I think these are fun cars to drive as designed. No spring compressor, cutting, welding or modification needed. It had no running gear but was a complete car either way. Although i do engine conversions professionally for a living i'm keen not to promote my business here, i always have a 4-6 month waiting list for that, so the 944 is just another one of my personal builds i'd like to share, hopefully give someone else the info they need to do this themselves. 1982 924 *Audi V8 Swap In Progress*1985.5 944 NA *3.0L 16V swapped* 1987 944 Turbo *3.0l 8V*.

The only item that would be absolutely set in stone would be the installation kit, and that is because I wouldn’t want to take the chance of screwing up the important stuff! I can't wait to hear what this will sound like. I like the Audi 5-cyl but for a sporty car they need turbocharging, so more $ and effort to the swap. This is also assuming all the work being performed is by the project builder and not a shop. Love this swap idea. I am not a fabricator so I would be looking for something that has been done before and there are parts that can be purchased to make it work. ... Porsche drift Camera 944 948 V8 conversion - Duration: 4:54. I realize putting a J engine into a 944 may not be everyones cup of tea, but i yearn for a V8 944 and for me the 928 engine is just too heavy and expensive, so hopefully i won't curse word too many purists off with my build, thanks for having me.My Fidanza flywheel arrived so i removed the ring gear by heating it up, flipped it around and refitted it, this ensures the chamfer on the teeth faces the correct way for the Lexus starter motor....Also my T56 clutch slave arrived, this will need extended pipes making to exit the Lexus bellhousing so that supply and bleed are taken care of, no biggy.The V8 arrived, a bit manky but hey it's spent its whole life in an unloved LS400 engine bay, i'll make it good as new again.I got to business and fitted the Fidanza flywheel, i have also removed the sump pan and lower sump casing in preparation for the first dummy fitting this weekend.Once the dummy fitting and basic fabrication is out of the way this engine will get a complete teardown, overhaul and rebuild with a nice colour scheme to match the carThe adapter plate came from XSchop, and a nicely made item it is too, so i bolted it up to the 944 torque tube and attached my 1uz auto bellhousing, remember this is all just dummy fitting work at the moment, it all needs to come apart again for the final refit, this is just to carry out fabrication work in the engine bay etc.Now the faint hearted among you may want to look away at this point, graphic 944 grinder action about to happen!There is an area of bulkhead that fouls the V8, now something has to give, and the engine is not going to move out of the way, so this area of the firewall needs cutting out and remodelling....This will be built up stronger than before but curved around the head of the V8 for clearance.With no clutch fitted the engine swung straight into the bay and bolted up in minutes to the bellhousing...... et voila one V8 944....Of course it isn't that simple, there is still a mountain of work to do, the Soarer sump i bought is not going to work at all, sometimes you have to spend money to find these things out, so i will be making my own sump from scratch. Therefore I would be looking for a cheap 944 to perform the build. Technical advice is available, 9-5, M-F at Ground Control to help you configure your suspension. ARCHIVED The 'not particularly interesting but older than 2000' sales section. Then with a little wiggling around this happened....I appear to own a V8 944!You can see the notch i needed to take out for the PS pump....And although the BMW Hydroboost/944 brake master isn't cleaned/properly fitted yet you can see the clearance i now have, tight but workable....Pretty happy to have got this far so quickly, now follows the really hard work.More 948 nonsense...The oil filter remote kit and cooler are now fitted, i have mounted the cooler behind the badge panel, and the plan is to vent the panel so that cold air hits directly in this area...One of these designs will work well, anyone know who sells them? Hi, looking forward to seeing how it turns out! I'd suggest getting a 1.8L Audi motor and a big turbo. I plan to do the top of the Dash in Black, and the lower half in out family tartan as shown in my thread a bit earlier on my Door cards and arm rest/cassette holder, 32720218_2465031576855824_342907689241673728_o.jpg [ 353.11 KiB | Viewed 2631 times ], 20191227_162301.jpg [ 7.66 MiB | Viewed 2631 times ], 20191231_144533.jpg [ 8.32 MiB | Viewed 2631 times ], 20170302_221727.jpg [ 1.4 MiB | Viewed 2623 times ], © 2009-2020 The Porsche 924 Owners Club - Powered by, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DZTeh1uXtQ, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsYmkN9mptQ&t, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnKwLaSBGnM&t, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRPi51xZ-Kk, https://porsche924.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... v8#p356430.

That price doesn’t seem too bad since I’ve seen these cars going for $10k plus online, and since my main goal would be to drive it for awhile and then sell it that would be quite a nice turn around. I would also be able to swap out any parts that I needed to get the car complete. Now that’s what I’m talking about! By this weekend the engine will be hanging on its new mounts and some real fabrication can begin, then by next week everything back apart for engine bay painting etc.Those with a nervous disposition can uncover your eyes now The engine mounts are now done, these still need final dressing before painting but plenty strong...The mounts fitted to the engine...And sitting on the Lexus rubbers which are bolted to the 944 subframe...The subframe itself has been lowered 3/4" on these, very necessary for clearance....Here you can see my new mounts, Lexus blocks and lowered subframe in the same shot...Perfect alignment...So i made a start on the new sump, i think i'm going to have 20-30 hours in the sump itself, it begins with a basic frame that i have bolted to the original sump pan, all very basic for now, this needs welding, trimming down and shaping before the next stage.Final sump fabrication will take place on the engine block when it is mounted on the engine stand, but for now i can trial fit this frame between the subframe/rack and engine.An interesting days fabrication work, i now have a bespoke 1uz/944 sump, it took 15 hours so not as bad as i was expecting.As above i started with a basic frame mocked up on the original upper 1uz casing, that gave me the bolt hole positions are served as a jig to keep it all straight, avoiding distortion.I decided to use the Soarer belly pan and incorporate that into the design, effectively making this as close to an original rear mounted sump as possible, so an angle frame was made with captive nuts...This frame also gives me an extra 15mm of sump height which is about 3/4 ltr extra oil, the reason that is needed is because my "shallow" part of the sump is likely to hold less oil than normal. Interesting read! It seems that there are always a lot of things that I don’t think about when dreaming of a V8 924, or any fantasy build or swap. Unusual projects like this really interest me! I would then have a complete running car for probably not too much cash. Because no one would be expecting it. I have one "porsche friend" who has swapped in his 944 audi 5 cylinder engine and put a turbo on it. I like the Audi 5-banger but... not that much. Hey all. I know that the transmission for the 92x series Porsche’s are in the back of the car for better weight distribution so could I just take a wrecked Camaro/Firebird and swap it out? This keeps the weight balance and one of the unique features of the car. should be able to start it this coming Friday or Saturday.
