Hi Folks, as a summer project I'm looking to use Renegade Hybrids of Las Vagas to pop a small block chevy into a 928

Reasoning is a 928 with no engine is cheap, a small block chevy is v.cheap and the conversion kit is cheap etc etc.

I'd like to track down anyone who has done such a conversion on a RHD 928 as renegade's exhausts manifolds only work on LHD cars

thanks in advance
Ada,

I doubt it. But Iguana knows a 944 that had a Rover V8 fitted.

After all, you can see why you'd ditch a four for an eight, but the 928 was already blessed by nature when it left the factory.

Good luck with the project. I am an SBC fan but you'll probably have your Chevy running before me. My project has taken about two years just to get past planning stage

I agree blessed with a great engine - but if it breaks it will cost a fortune to fix. Just think it would be a great cruiser with 400 odd BHP SBC (oh and the noise)

I guess the iron block Chevy is lots heavier than 928 tho?

The all alloy rover v8 lump matey shoved in the 944, actually weighed a tad less than the porker 4 pot (light weight tubular manifolds were a big factor)
