Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

Yay me! I successfully extracted the motor and trans together out the top of a 4th gen. Man was it tight! Nothing broken and no blood - it was a good evening!

(Sorry for the blurry pic)

The Camaro harvest is over and it's ready to head off to the crusher.

So of course I just had to try and stuff something into the 944!

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

My last shot is with the L67 lined up in front so I can stare at alllll the various tradeoffs at once.

So far the L36 is fitting pretty well. I will have some challenges with the steering shaft and the exhaust header... plus whatever I don't know about yet.

And the only way the L67 is going to work is if I either move the 944's HVAC unit over towards the passenger side of the cowl or, delete it and rig some other HVAC unit in it's place. Both motors have the same high point which is the alternator - it's above the 944's hood line no matter what. I'll probably put a bump in the hood rather than try to change the alt mount.
