The Porsche guys hate when people do this to the car, MPD is a good reference, and if you actually do it, he may be the person you want to talk to. If in the next couple years I get an extra $10k cash I will probably still do this swap as the 944/951 is one of my favorite cars. When I read your initial price quote, my first thought was along these lines. If you’re planning on $10k, you’d best plan on spending $15k, and have $20k budgeted in case things go wrong. At least, that’s the rule with engine swaps as I recall hearing it. They rarely go according to plan, and everybody forgets to budget for all sorts of things that you don’t initially count on. ---

i already have the engine, well 7/8s of it lol. and yes i am trying to stay optimistic with the 10k but expect to spend more obviously. that 10k isn’t including the break and suspension upgrades that will come with time. this will be a lifelong labor of love that will probably ruin my marriage and destroy my savings and children’s college fund yadda yadda yadda… ---

Any Reason why it’s going to be a 2001 vette motor? That was the year where there was an oil consumption problem. Any other year is fine… ---

I wouldn’t run a 98 motor…they have weaker rod bolts if you plan on spinning it up higher with a larger cam… ---

A call out of what? Saying you’re a child? Check. Saying a tattoo of a rotary engine part _just might_ be a mistake? Check. Saying the rotary will die at some point? Check. Saying you’ll LS swap it? Nah, that’s called sarcasm. Not to mention you don’t have the technical ability, and you’ll sell it before then. ---

Seeing as how we’re guys and on a car forum there’s really only two ways to settle how much we dislike eachother. Line up wherever, or come to a fight night (sundays at 11) at my place and get your ginger ass kicked. ---

Hmmm, getting arrested for assault, or getting arrested for street racing. Sounds like a good idea! Sorry I don’t associate with retards. You have a bit of growing up to do, maybe learn when it’s appropriate to keep your mouth shut. (Like uhhh the majority of the times you open it). ---
