Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
A few years ago I read a mag article about Alois Ruf putting a V8 into a 997.2 But the motor came from a Cayenne Still Porsche. The V8 was supposedly 90 lb lighter than the flat 6.

I'm the guy with a race motor on a stand waiting for the right thing to stuff it into.
The 996 is already a Frankenporsche...what's one more atrocity?

Just read through the whole thread on the other forum. Good grief what a mess. Looks like a combo of really bad attitude and really bad luck. Fun times...Dr_Strangelove (whew!) wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 11:26 am32wildbilly wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 6:49 am
Yeah, that is fun! However, I'm an "idiot" according to him so what do I know?the one thing I do know is I don't have a bushel basket full of aluminum in my oil pan!
I really wanted to post - "Only an idiot needs someone to save their life." after he said "Only an idiot needs a mechanic to build an engine."
But then I put my fingers down and had some tea because my internet fighting days are behind me.
