Not sure if this has been done. Just wondering transmission wise what will bolt up? I know any motor can be converted with enough work. Just not familiar with the 944 motor's & what problems I'd run into. I haven't seen it done so that makes me think there must be something that makes it unpractical. This would be for my old v8 car. SO obviously water cooled is no problem for me. Plus it would be a Porsche drivetrain right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

At this point Audi's v8 engines are found quite often in local junk yards. You can even find a running and driving A6 v8 or A8 for a couple grand. Connecting them to a 6 speed trani wouldnt be that bad but 99% of them are awd, so converting to FWD would require welding the center diff and just installing them that long or using a boxster trani. The entire assembly would be very long and require quite a bit of fab.
