It's the steering wheel that's really putting me off.

Quite a common conversion in Merka. Can you imagine getting a quote from your OPC to do one. "Ninety grand sir?"

[doneitnow]

I love it (steering wheel debatable) the only thing is do you really want a classic Porsche with a Corvette engine!!!!

clear perspex bootlid would finish that off perfectly - love it!

But what is the price difference between a Ruf one and this one! and the Ruf one 550bhp WOW

Kushy, does it not bother you having a classic Porsche with non-Porsche engine

[scarebus]

Fantastic 2 in 1.

Classic Porsche and american V8, well it wouldn't work the other way around??

[SaucyBoy]

I bet that's a laugh to drive. Fantastic!!

[GT2CS]

looks like there is no room to put an air filter on top of the carb - think of all the cr@p that would go in the engine.

[monthefish]

Steering wheel aside, that's a great looking machine for only £12k.

[Legacywr]

It does look quite nice....

Not sure of I would want to drive that quickly in the wet on a twisty road... Must be more weitght in the rear.

But total legend conversion!

When your 996 IMS goes - this is the way ahead!

who cares - at least it wont blow-up when you start it!

[sportsandclassic]

Must be a shallow block as it can not be seen from rear end..? Can not see the exhaust either so that should be intersting.

I like it from an engineering point not as a purchase.

I read somewhere (when a similar conversion came up on another thread) that the LS1 engine is actually lighter?

Here's an LS1 in a 996: http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/36207-996-wit...view__findpost__p191928

I really really like that!

Terrifying. Think I'd want to carry ballast in the nose in that thing... Truly scary. Good work nonetheless!
