Default 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Conversion

Well, my first conversion is well underway. I have pulled out the engine and ordered a Warp 11, clutchless coupler and motor adaptor. I will still need to fabricate some sort of motor mount, but I'm waiting to get everything installed to see where the motor lines up in the engine bay first.

If you want to follow along, I'll be updating my blog as things progress, the link is in my signature.

Subscribed. Great donor car choice! The 944 really is one of my all time favorites. Best of luck.

I'm following all three of you. The 944 was on a short list for conversion, until I found a nice 911 at the right price.

There is a conversion kit to replace the pop-up lights with dual fixed lights. Not sure if that is of interest, but here is the link: http://www.deutschnine.com/mm5/merch...-aero-dynamics

Thanks for the link Joey, and the follow. I have chosen to dump the pop-up's, but the deutschnine's are really expensive and I'm also not quite sold on the look of those particular 'buckets'. No matter what I will be doing HID's and possibly LED's, so if I can't find anything else out there that suits me, I may just make my own from fiberglass. I'll keep you all posted when I get to that.
