By getting a Nissan VG33E and putting it in this.

In my defense the motor with all the computers and everything is $100 (and a ps pump and a alternator)

Also GRC driver

It's a 924. People should be thrilled you're doing anything with it at all. Not like you're doing that with a 944 Turbo or something with a super interesting engine. It's an improvement in basically every way.

Do it. Don’t listen to anyone that tells you no.

Let me make you an offer.

Wasn’t it around 120hp or so brand new?

In fairness to your name, the other option was a ford straight 6

Not the best motor but the price is right. How would it fit?

-shurg- I has sawza I can fit anything with that

All the fab work for that engine even at 100$ can’t be worth it rationally.

It will certainly be one of a kind tho! Plus it’s not like its a turbo model so I say do it!

Do it! Are you hooking it up to the original rear-mounted gearbox though?

Ike > RallyDarkstrike - Fan of 2-cyl FIATs, Eastern Bloc & Kei cars 06/15/2016 at 19:29

That's the plan, I have a machine shop that could do an adaptator once I get them the info

Just beware of having more than one project car. I have 3 and motorcycle project that I never work on any of them.

Yes I own 5 cars & 2 bikes to my wife’s one Van.

If it don't fit, it goes in the Volvo wagon with some turbos

If one was for sale in the area, it would be on the list.

Yeah, I don’t know what year his car is but somewhere between 110-125. No great loss.

Volvo is getting close to finished (roll cage and seat upgrade which the Porsche was supposed to provide) so moving on to this isn't to much more on the plate

XJDano > Ike 06/15/2016 at 19:34

It sounds so easy.

Maybe I’m just in over my head with what I do have. Oh well, I have the space for what I have right now. I just can't get anything else. I also can't decide wether to sell metro or Equinox.

Yeah I'm a little over my space allotment but you can't argue with free I guess

Yeah for sure! (Pretty sure this motor is like 100pounds heavier)

As in teh Porsche motor is 100lbs heavier than the Nissan motor, or vice versa? :)

VW engine in Porsche is lighter then Nissan engine

That’s an awesome bad idea!

That engine doesn’t get nearly enough love. A VG33ER would be cooler though.

VG33ER? V—-GER?

Nerdy Trek reference. Sorry.

Right! Forgot this model had the VW engine....makes sense it’s lighter. Hopefully won’t spoil the handling too much!

There’s a difference between sinning and masochism.

But why Nissan?

Ike > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner 06/16/2016 at 15:36

Cause it runs and its $100 ?

Meh. You’ve got the right direction drive train for a V8 though....

How much could a 5.0 from the 80's cost?

Ike > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner 06/16/2016 at 16:35

0

Looking around CL and other local sites 500-1000 but I would need a tranny too, which would add that to the cost again,instead if machining some adaptators to get the Nissan and VW/Porsche to mate
