just having some silly thoughts atm!

any issues with engine transplants into a pre 90s 911?

just thinking a 996 gt3 engine, or 996 turbo/gt2 engine?

old skool looks and modern powerplant, starting to appeal to me more.

just wondered if anyone had looked into doing this, or had done it, and the main headaches!

many thanks
nick

thanks for the replys. tbh I love the look of the classic 911s but they just are not massively fast. I really want something properly quick!

engine transplant seems to be a bit of a mission, so started to think, how about removing the 964 engine in the car, and rebuilding with low compression and forged parts and strap a turbo or two on!

930 are cool but already very strong money. Plus tuning a 930 these days will most likely devalue it as well. The car is already a bit of a mix up of parts from different cars so modding it wont really change to much.

A 930 plus tuning will end up very costly. Whereas tuning this will end up cheaper than even a base 930!

Just throwing ideas about really!
