- This is the story of my 1987 Porsche 944 LS Swap, It starts with the purchase of a 1987 Porsche 944 and a 2002 Chevy Camaro and ends with a bad ass LS1 conversion in the 944! Then we kept going adding brakes, suspension and a full custom build, body work and front end restoration, paint, seats, interior modifications and more. I love this car, It is so fun to drive.

im a senior in HighSchool and i just got this exact car off of my aunt who had it sitting in her garage for years. You basically have it exactly how i want mine to end up. In my school we have to do something called a senior project where you have to do a big project where you are learning a new skill so i am gonna try to LS swap mine as well.
I think that is a great idea. I rebuilt the engine in my GTI in high school and I Learned a lot of valuable lessons and time management. I think you have a great idea and should go for it. If you have any questions along the way let me know. Thanks for watching.
@@hanzdidit im about to buy the 1984 944 and make it my project car and do it right, I just found out my mk5 gti needs a new motor so i am unfortunately going to sell it to someone who can make that car shine better than me but looking forward to the 944
This was an ad I saw, and I was expecting a pretty terrible video or some wannabe knock off machinima contract (which I think FlickFive is?). Not bad though, pleasantly surprised. Solid build.
No this is just my channel, I had a bit of an Identity crisis when I first started my channel, Flick Five was the first name, Now it is hanz did it. Thanks for the props and thanks for watching!
That is a beautiful restomod. Really love the interior components. I grew up riding in the back of my dads 944 but fully support swaps and modification to keep these cars exciting among modern cars
Thanks, I have great memories of the first 944 I ever drove back in 1989. It was so fun and so fast (turbo) Now I am exceeding the fun factor with every trip to the store :)
Thank you for watching!
The joy of listening to a V-8 come to life through a nice header & exhaust system....:) Always brings you back w/a smile on your face.
That was an awesome day! I am glad I thought to get may camera out wit all the anticipation of firing the LS for the first time. Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous car man! Happy to see someone with their dream car/build
Thank you, I love this car. Thanks for watching!
Love the extra fiberglass work with the LEDs super clean brother! ESPECIALLY The Shot of the car with them lit up as the sun was going down. Nice Job! Got To Give Credit Where It's DUE & I MUST SAY YOUR VISION FOR THIS CAR IS AMAZING.
I had never done any fiberglass work before so it was fun learning how to do it, it was challenging to make it look Like I wanted it to, but I love a challenge. I love the way Will lights look at night it really brings a new twist on the front end of this 944. Thank you so much for watching!
I'm a C4 'vette owner. I've been thinking about an LS swap for a while, but cramming an LS3 in a C4 is a bit of a hat trick. The more I read about 944 LS swaps, it sound simpler than the C4 (but not much). The power to weight ratio is better. Thanks for sharing, fantastic car, and yes, the 944 was the bomb in the 80's.
Thanks, If you have a good budget you should go for it, Mine was fun.
Love this type of video. Just talking about the car without all the flashiness
Thanks man I appreciate it. Thank you for watching!
I really like you story! I'm am in the process of LS1 swapping my 95 BMW 325ic. Thank you for sharing!
Very nice job. I had a Ruf tuned 944 Turbo back in the late 90's early 2000s. I regret selling it on. One of the best driving autos I've had. Congrats and enjoy!
Thank you so much, I have worked so hard on this car but every minute has been worth it. I think these 944s are so sexy and I am very passionate about making them the best they can be. At the end of this project I am super stoked about the way it turned out Thanks for watching. Here is the latest update to the video th-cam.com/video/Pu4HhtKP-Sw/w-d-xo.html
Wow, an educational ad. Thanks Han!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Love the wheels man… Kudos! My mom bought one of the first 944s in Chicago in ‘83 when I was a junior in high school and that thing handled so beautifully and shifted like butter I loved that car so much and I just have to say kudos. Great job and have fun driving it!!
Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate your comments.
The 944 and the 911 were my dream cars when I was younger.
What you did to the 944 is something I have always wanted to do as well...
Go for it. It is a lot of work but when you are done it is so worth it. Thanks for watching!
Great job! Looks fantastic and it's your car, your vision. Those cars definitely needed a healthy V-8!
I love that word "Fantastic" that is a great way to describe this car. Thank you so much for watching my story!
Just picked up my 944 and will be using yours as inspiration. Going to start with an 6.2 L92 swap next year.
Awesome! have fun with it, let me know how it is going. I have a new video comimg out next week, I did some things to the 944 and it is looking better then ever. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done- excellentbuild. I've always loved the 944.
Thank you so much, You made my day. I love this car. Thanks for watching!
Congrats, that is an awesome build and a lot of work and effort but now its close to perfect 💪🏻
It was definitely a lot of work but it all paid off and I really love the car now. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
4 proper winter/snow tires and you'll have a blast on cold sketchy roads...I do it with a 1988 911 SC ,I live up in the French Alps) ,driving at night on fresh snow with good headlights ,heater on and tunes...so cool..!!!!
hector, sounds super fun, I will give it a try, I have to agree that the right tunes make all the difference. Where I live we typically get pretty heavy snow in the winter so this year may be a perfect opportunity. I would love to see your car if you have a way to show it to me. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Congrats to you...wish I had the expertise and resource to change out to a LS engine with more hp...love the 944 body work ..after all these year unappreciated so glad it finally it is getting the recognition it deserves
It is really great to hear good feedback after all of the work it feels like it paid off and I'm glad I can share it with the world. Thank you for watching!
Very clean and tasteful build. I can tell you love it.
I really do love this car, I'm usually grinning ear to ear when I'm driving it, it is so much fun. Thank you for watching!
It looks badass with the lights man great job makeing your car I hope you have a great experience 👌🏼
Appreciate it!!
Good job, well done man. Love the 944
Thank you so much for watching!
Great Video. I'm totally about this: "My Car, My Wallet - MY DESIGN" and I totally agree, that's one sexy 944. My daily driver is an 85 944 (early). However, I've been researching the LS swap for my garaged 944 parts car, since the engine is already out. Thanks for the motivation.
No problem keep me posted on your build I would love to see how it's going. Thank you for supporting my channel!
Did u finish
@@josemaldonado-ni8cy Actually, I came up on an 81 C3 corvette so I'm swapping that instead - LOL. building the channel for it right now. Tho haven't decided if I will post anything. It can really take away from the build time.
Bro this car looks amazing! Great great work brother !
Thanks again so much for all the support and thanks for watching.
Absolutely love it, great job beautiful car!
Looks amazing! I was thinking about doing the same thing.
You should do it, it is a lot of work but worth it in the end.
That is a great build, and you did a great job on it.
Thank you so much I am so stocked about how it turned out, I love this car! Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
I had a friend with a 944 turbo, and I had Corvettes most of the time. Then i ran across a 928 for sale and took it on a test drive. Damn near killed my self, but i did like the Porsche interior. Later i ended up in a 98 C5 LS 6 speed but thought this chassis and a 944 Body would be a nice ride. Never got to it. My wife just could not understand why I would want to do that. But your project explains it all. Very very well done. Nice result, congrats, Dennis in Virginia
Thank you Dennis, it was a ton of work but at the end of the day it was all worth it. Thank you so much for understanding my obsession with this project, lol. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching and supporting my channel.
It Shuda been a vw sports entry....and a Porsche front engine entry...with Porsche performance...but for swap enthusiasts it's pure gold.....
Thank you so much!
Thanks for posting this video. I daily drive a rebuilt 1990 Toyota supra with pop-up headlights. A 944 is my next project car.
That is awesome, I can't wait to see your 944. I would also like to see your Toyota supra. I love it when people keep old awesome cars alive. Thanks so much for watching!
Not even a car guy and this is awesome. 👍
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Agree, you made the car that should’ve been! Awesome 👍👍
Thanks SuperChief5 I am glad you like it. Lots of work but worth it in the end. Thank you for watching!
Very cool wheels 👍🏻
Beautiful car 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching!
Very nic your vid about your 944 devotion. Awesome V8 upgrade!!
It has been a lot of work but it definitely has paid off, I love this car. If you want to see the latest update I have made a few changes that have made the car even a little better. th-cam.com/video/Pu4HhtKP-Sw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching and supporting my channel!
Absolutely love what you have done.
Thank you so much, you made my day. It was a labor of love and in the end i love it.
I LOVE IT !!!!!!!! IT's EXACTLY how I want one.. This and a 3rd gen t-top camaro (Also done like this) are my 2 wants. Currently shopping for my project
Awesome! I did some upgrades and the car is looking even better (I think anyways) I Love that 3ed gen camaro Irock Z, such a cool car! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. th-cam.com/video/Pu4HhtKP-Sw/w-d-xo.html
Great job on the car!
Thanks!
Great car. I’m with you on this. I feel that the 944 is one of the best looking porche models built. The fact that you can buy them right makes them an awesome candidate for a resto-mod. The updating that you did was very tastefull. I’d love to know how much you have in the car total.
Thank you very much for the compliment, I did pour my heart and soul into this car. To be perfectly honest with you after I rebuilt the engine transmission I had to stop looking at how much I had into the car. I stopped saving receipts and stopped counting. I did talk to someone today that said I could get almost $30,000 for this 944 if I was to sell it... If that is true I might make a little prophet if I did not include my time. For me this was a labor of love.
I could have done it for a lot less if I just picked a donor engine and put it in but it kind of snowballed and I upgraded almost everything on the car. Thank you for watching and if you do a conversion please let me know how it is going, i would love to see someone els doing one .
I want a 944 just like yours. I’ve always loved the 944 and the 928
I love this 944. Thanks for watching.
Nice work. And good video.
Thanks Gianni for your support and thanks for watching.
Awesome build!!!!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much. Thanks for watching,
wow beautiful!!
great job!
Thank you so much. This was definitely a labor of love and I am so excited about how it turned out. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
nice work, an LS1 makes pretty much any car fun
To be precise it makes it almost twice as fun, lol. Thanks so much for watching I'm glad you like the car.
Very nice. I’m dreaming of doing the same for my ‘83 na. Just ordered and received a turbo radiator. Then I’ll do wheels and brakes, then save for the conversion kit. I’m a few years out from the LS but like the idea of a donor Camaro. Cool.
You can do it! Let me know how it is going.
Wow! Very nice car indeed. And a very very nice job doing the fiberglass on the front bumper. The LED's add such a nice touch. And you better believe if I heard the LS1 coming from what the original 4 banger sat. I would probably break my neck wondering WTF?!?!?! Lol such an upgrade
Thank you for noticing the small details, it was a lot of work but I think it all paid off in the fit and finish. I will tell you every time I start the car it kind of makes me laugh a little, just because it is so ridiculous how killer it sounds. Thanks for watching!
My brother did almost the exact same thing. His is red with turbo twists, but not as complete yet. I’m currently looking for a 968 to try and do. Sweet car mar!
You should definitely do your project, it is a lot of work but it will be worth it once it's done. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Love what you did with the bumper LED's. Looks like the Wraith coming at you at night!!!!! I'm just going to get a blueprint crate engine delivered to me when I swap
Thank you. That bumper was definitely a labor of love and I love the way it turned out. I'm 100% on your side if I had it to do over again I would've just ordered a new engine. I wasted my money and wish I could do it over again. Good luck on your swap I'm sure it will be awesome when it's done. Thank you so much for watching and happy new year.
Sick car dude!!!
It is a dream come true!
Like your video alot! Nice job on the car and the video.
it is so great to get positive feedback! Thank you so much for watching, let me know if you want to see more videos about this car and what you would like to see...?
I live in bend too. I keep a look out for you when im in my 944 turbo
Hello that is such a cool car I can appreciate what you've done to this baby it look great my dad did a gran national complete set up on his 79 triumph tr7 and the same wow factor but he worked on his for 14 yrs as a project for him not to get bored but when he finished it everybody in town thought that it was a Ferrari I really enjoyed your stay about this car I have a relative who owns a 944 now I want to hear more about your cars n projects Peace
Thank you for the nice comments. I love to hear stories about other car guys building amazing machines, you should look into building your Mercedes. My transmission is being rebuilt and I should have the car back up and running in the next month or so, I have some plans for some more videos for sure. Thank you so much for watching!
Damn man nice ass car this is amazing and ur build is very inspiring!! I love that car
Thanks you so much here is the most up to date 944 video if you want to check it out. th-cam.com/video/Pu4HhtKP-Sw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Love it! Great job!!!
Thank you so much for watching! I love this car, it was such a fun project.
Love the black on black and Wow! You your valence mod customization was amazing. Crept I would went with the amber LED’s. I’m feeling my really inspired right now. I wished you would mentioned some cost or even an over all. Anyway she came out beautifully.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like the build. To be honest with you I do not know how much it cost I did not want to add it up when I was done because I spent way too much on this project :). I really appreciate you watching and supporting my channel.
great video, very informative!
Thanks you am glad you like the car, It was a lot of work but it is almost done. Thanks for watching!
I agree with you. I absolutely love that body style.
This is an amazing car for sure I absolutely love the way they built this body. I feel super lucky to have had the chance to build this car, I'm glad you like it too thank you so much for watching!
You should put window louvers on the back glass. I love this car and you really did a wonderful job.
Thank you so much, it was a labor of love for sure. Every time I open my garage door. I look at her and she makes me smile. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
nice work!... love it.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Wow! Oregon! I miss that place. Eugene....
I bought an 85 rx7 gsl se there. I took it back to Tx where I ended up putting a .060 sbc in it.
Awesome! It is a lot of work but in the end it is all worth it! Thanks for watching.
Absolutely beautiful job brother 👍🏻
I really appreciate it, you made my day. Thank you so much for watching!
Hell yeah those twist wheels look awesome on that 944. Exactly what I would do...
Thanks Matt, I am working on making a video of the car driving and creating a through-back 1987 TV ad. It has been fun so far, it will be up in a few weeks if we can get enough clear days. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
@@hanzdidit You bet! A buddy of mine and I have been thinking about doing a 944 LSx swap and I shared your video and another person's video with him. I can't wait until we get our shop built and we have space, along with a lift, to actually work and store cars. I am intrigued by this swap. German engineering with Chevy power! What's not to like??? Good video, enjoyed the content.
Really great!! I want one too!
Thank you so much for watching!
Just my opinion: removing the horizontal door guards is the easiest way to update the look of any 944. It’s a cleaner look.
Hey man, thanks for the tip, I will look for some pictures that do not have them installed and check it out. Thanks for watching!
Hanz did it
I forgot to mention that I bought a ‘88 Turbo from the original owner. He told me he removed the guards the 1st week of buying the car. He was completely spot on for doing it.
If you look around you will occasionally see one w/o the guards. I think you will agree it’s a much cleaner look
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Cash Silas instablaster :)
@Ethan Mario I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great video brother good work
Thank you so much for watching!
Nicely done sir
Thank you so much all of my hard work has paid off I really am proud of this car. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
Car looks great!
Thank you so much for watching I'm glad you like the car.
I’m digging this build! The black wheels and lowering it some turned out nicely too. What seats are those that you installed? I have hundreds of other questions too, but I’ll leave it at just that one. I’m getting an 87 924s and have been seriously considering doing what you have done. Of course I’ll need to add a little extra to the body in order to achieve a more 944/924 GT look.
I just checked out my account and I believe these are the ones that I got for my 944

Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
This is what I’m doing to a 87 model same naturally aspirated and putting a rebuilt/built 5.3 truck motor in supposed to put down 450-500 at the wheels can’t wait to drive it
cause up with your project. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Please keep me posted on how your project is going. Thank you so much for watching.
Hahaha! If Singer could reimagine a 944...they would come to the same conclusion you did. Well done.
Thanks for the props, This car is now it should've been in 1987. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Great video thank you!!
Thank you so much this was a labor of love. I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
@@hanzdidit i have a ls3 what would be the best year and tubo 944 to use for conversion thks
Amazing job!!
Thank you so much, you are going to love the video I put out next week. I had a couple of things done to the 944 and it looks better then ever!
Ayyyy shouts out to bend Oregon!! You know Kate and mathias? Lol they live in bend also
Look me up if you're ever in Bend I'd love to show you the car in person if you'd like to see it. I don't know your friends Kc and Mathias but there are lots of cool people here. I'm really glad you like the car thanks for watching
Man great work
This is clean asf
It is comments like these that make my day and makes me want to keep making videos for you. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Good story!
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
Extremely well done. The LEDs are awesome. Yeah, why would that fibreglass company make a front end to house old lights instead of new lighting…?
I know right, it is kind of crazy that they did not just do it right the first time and provide lights and a really good fitting front end. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Hanz, as a fellow DIYr and car guy, I really appreciate what you have done here. If you had a "do over" would you have tried to get ahold of a 944 Turbo to start with or are you happy going with an NA model?
Hey Seth, I am happy with the 944s, I wold like to have a transaxle from a turbo but they are hard to find any more. The problem with the turbo cars is that they have been hammered on a bit more with the extra HP. My 944s only had 150 ish HP so it was not doing to many burnouts if you know what I am saying. To answer your question for the way I drive it... it is a perfect setup and I love it. Here is a link to the latest video on the 944 th-cam.com/video/Pu4HhtKP-Sw/w-d-xo.html Just a few updates. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
In my opinion these wheels are cool too, man😎👍 But I remember seeing GM selling LS3 for like 4,5 grands on their own website.
To be perfectly honest with you if I was to do this over again I would have bought a crate engine. The thing you have to think about is that when you do crate LS you have to buy all of the components water pump, AC compressor, alternator all hoses... you get the point.Having said that it's still would've been a better way to go because everything would be brand new. Thanks for watching!
Great story.
Thank you so much, that means a lot. Thank you for watching!
need that rear diffuser i think nice build
I totally agree with you and I am looking for one. I think it would really finish the car off really well. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Turbo twist wheels...LOL...still better than the phone dials.
Not a fan of that grill...taking 3 or 4 inches out of the rear bumper does wonders.
Car is screaming for a tint job...back window can be troublesome, ask me how I know.
I would love to see what you were thinking please send me some photos
Sweet vid🤘
Thank you so much for watching!
@@hanzdidit on Forza Horizon 4 (xbox) one of my favorite cars is a 924 S with a 918 Spyder engine swap in it..its wine red with dark polished copper wheels and shes a beauty, I believe your car was based off of that chassis and is equally stunning
I really want a 944 now.. and now I really want one and engine swap it!
I'm glad you like the video thank you so much for watching. Definitely a labor of love I do love this car.
Maybe someday we'll cross paths and I can pick your brain a bit. I'm just down OR-97 outside Klamath Falls. I'd thought about doing this swap at the beginning of the year, but uh... Yeah, let's just say 2020 happened. I have been thinking about picking up a ragged 944 to swap again as I have someplace to store it for when I can get to it. I have one widebody v8 now (a Foxbody Mustang), and I'd love to add a 944 to the mix to compare them. Do you take it out to shows during the nice weather? I went to Sunriver last year in the widebody, and have family to visit in Redmond. Love the story, and it sounds familiar. The rabbit hole can be pretty deep sometimes!
Nice build on all you cars, keep up the good work! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel!
I live outside Portland also ! I got a all white 88 924s
Nice! I love the body style on this car probably the sexiest car made in the 80s. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Love the car! I had an 84’ 944 about 15 years ago. I’d love to get another one and LS swap it. I travel to bend occasionally. Maybe I could stop by and see the swap in person?
Sounds good, I am putting up for sale so let me know when you are coming and hopefully I still have it. Thanks for watching!
@@hanzdidit link to the ad?
Dope build
Thanks Adrian, It is still an ongoing project. Thanks for watching!
Wow I just picked a 924s so I don't know how much this video applies to it, but you've done everything I've been dreaming of doing. It looks absolutely gorgeous! Do you happen to know who makes the valance?
Sorry for the late reply this ended up in my spam. The valance is was called the EVO III I think. It took me about two months to get it and the guy said he was only making 500 my balance was marked 445 and that was about three years ago. I have looked for them for other people and I can't find them anywhere online I think that they stopped making them. If there was enough demand I would try to make a mold of the one that I have to re-create it. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel!
Looks awesome! What did you replace in the interior and with what? Everything looks new (dash, door panels, ...) and those seats look amazing!
One of my requirements when I bought this car was that it was in really good shape and had no rust. I didn't really plan on doing this build but I was picky when I was making my purchase. I took out the electric seats and replaced them with some seats from this company I found called carid.com. I think I have links to the seats in the steering wheel in the description. I bought a dash cover from eBay and it made the whole interior look almost brand new. I also got a new shifter knob which I have gotten some controversy about but I think it looks pretty cool. I found that on eBay as well. This has been a labor of love and everybody will have different tastes but I think this turned out pretty close to what I imagined when I started. Thank you so much for watching
@@hanzdidit Thanks for getting back to me! This is very helpful. I'm considering getting a 944 and doing an LS swap as well. My neighbour had a beautiful red one when I was a kid. Love the look but not at all crazy about the base power. I have a 2022 Camaro 2SS and would love to have a 944 with a similar power plant. Came close to getting an '83 944 on the weekend. Had only 60k km and had been in storage for 10 years. It didn't last long though and I missed out. Was only $4k. Anyway, thanks for all the info!
Cool bro! You just motivated me to ls swap mine!! 👍🏾
Go for it! Let me know how you are doing along the way. Thanks for watching !
What EVer is cool to you is cool period it’s your vision abracadabra . She is boss I bought want to do the same thing with and then my job went to China so that’s on the back burner how fun nice video.
Thanks MrSchoolmaster, I like your outlook on things and yes she is boss. Thanks so much for watching and supporting my channel. I hope someday you get to finish your dream car.
Would really like to know how much you put into a new engine, tran, suspension, and brakes
Me too, to be honestly after I paid for the engine rebuild I kind of stopped counting just because it was getting so out of hand. If I had it to do over again I would buy a NEW LS3 crate engine $10K Renegade hybrids kit with headers 5K transaxle rebuild $3K Breaks and suspension 2K . Total $20K. bodywork and paint could range anywhere between $1000 in $20,000 depending on how far you want to dive into the rabbit hole. After all is said and done I think this car might be worth about $30,000 so not a lot of profit in it. It was more a labor of love (These numbers are just estimates do not quote me). Hopefully this is helpful thank you so much for watching.
2:51 Ouch
8:37 Looks good
9:16 Except for the LED lights that car looks really good
HRE or Volk wheels would certainly round up the look of that car
First car was an 83! Love it! Where did you order the LEDs for the front? Super clean!
I got them from amazon and modified them so they are waterproof and the wires are thicker then what they came with. Thanks for watching!
@@hanzdidit thank you!
Very nice. If you put the original wheels on it, it would be the ultimate sleeper
That is a good idea, I might do that. Next video :) Thanks for watching!
Dude, turbo look wheels are the best.
Thanks OnPointFirearms, I do not have any regrets and I love them even more now that they are even cooler looking (in my opinion). check out this follow up video. th-cam.com/video/Pu4HhtKP-Sw/w-d-xo.html I hope you like them. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Beautiful 944
Thank you so much, it was a labor of love for sure and I think it turned out great. Thanks for watching.
Sweet sweet car i lov it!justsayin
Thanks so much, It is the best project I have ever done. Thank you for watching!
Looks awesome, I have a 1985.5 that i want to do and spoke with renegade guys. if you had to est how much were you in it for? I like the seats you have what brand are they?
That's awesome, I would love to see the progress of your build.
Honestly I did stop counting after a while because it just went so wild. It very quickly went to just pulling the old engine and putting it into this car, all the sudden I was rebuilding that engine. Then we had to do the brakes and then we had to do the suspension and then I want to do the interior, on and on. So it was a lot of money. If I had any advice for you I would tell you to buy a crate engine or Get a good running engine out of a donor car and make sure that you do your breaks. and see how much further you wan to go at that point. this would be around $10 to 12K and that car will keep you smiling.
Thank you so much for watching!
I just would change also the rear bumper. What do you think. I own a 944 s2 and I think this is the best stock engine for the 944.
I will definitely try to find a rear bumper for this car, I agree they look very sleek. I think all of the Porsche engines when they are running well are amazing I just wanted a little more power. More power equals more fun, or more trouble LOL. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
