I believe one of the drift teams has already done this. Someone has also put an STI engine in one as well.

Seems like this car fits perfectly the motor swap club.

Having once replaced the waterpump (and the timing and balancer belts while I was at it, since I was in there...) on a 944, I can see the appeal in having an LS1 instead. Hell, For the time it took me, I *could* have done the swap.

So now his Porsche can go ass end into a tree even quicker!

As far as a BRZ with it.......:barf:

You're moving all the reciprocating mass upwards, even if you can mount it low. Then there's the extra weight of the engine, weight distribution being thrown off, e.t.c.

Did you know that LS1 swaps into S13 and S14 240SX's shave off ~200lbs. That's a mega upgrade.

As a former Pignose coupe owner I know. The thing is, the 240's stock mill is iron block, while the LS is aluminum. The BRZ's engine is already aluminum, at this point you're adding weight.

Absolutely. I knew it wouldn't be any sort of humongous upgrade for the BRZ. Though there are tons of people that do it for sh!ts and giggles.

This is the first thought that came to mind when I heard of a light weight RWD sports car.. If I had the money I would take the stroked LS1 out of my GTO and swap it into one.

Plus if you could get a cam only LS3 to hook it would run mid 10's all day long.. Yum Yum .. End up with a crazy fast car with great DD manners.. That still handed better then the average sports car..

At least you could change spark plugs after a swap..

Done. Borrowed this from my buddy's G8 GXP. Totally good for like 465WHP.

Le super sigh

Photochop? How does the hood close?

It's just the engine cover...

This.

Yea, the kid swapped it because the 944 motor was toast. I understand the appeal for that kind of swap, I just don't agree with it. I'm sure it would be a blast to drive.
