InitialDave posted:The only advantage I see to them is that they're relatively cheap and light. The above Rover v8 was acquired for pennies to basically be the test engine for the car and something with more displacement that was going to be slotted in later. Thing is it really didn't need anything more than it has now. It also has line locks so burnouts on demand...

I get (not much) better mileage out of a 5.7 Oldsmobile V8 in a 3600 pound car. '60s tech, I guess. Enourmo posted:Would it be awesome or sacrilegious to swap a 2.3 ecoboost into an SVO? Yes. InitialDave posted:The only advantage I see to them is that they're relatively cheap and light. Yes. "No Fucks" Corbin's Rolls sounds awesome. He made it more of a hack job than I would have, but that's his shtick. The car itself, stock, is massively overbuilt. Stuff like a 10" ring gear, IIRC. I had no idea until I watched the build videos that they were IRS.

Korwen posted:The biggest pain in the rear end on the timing belt was really dealing with rusted bolts that broke, had to drill and re-tap one out. Took probably 12-16 hours, but I was also in a garage with a full as hell tool kit, a lift, and had 4 or 5 experienced 928 mechanics helping me out. DFW is a good place to own a 928. Wow that engine bay is clean

Thief posted:how many car nerds roll up during red lights and get annoyed at those badges until the light turns green Yeah I feel that the Porsche badges are just tacky on this. Leave it a BMW and just keep it as a sleeper. Related content: https://instagram.com/p/Bbo2_u1jGEZ/ Viper V10 in a Z4.

Every now and then I've considered the idea of getting my hands on a Cayman engine to put in my S2, but I then realise that the cost and work involved would be astronomical so I just walk away from that thought process entirely.

You could probably find a written off Boxster somewhere and you could poach the engine off of that. But considering how hosed up the expensive car scrap market is You'd prob be better off finding a dead WRX.

Shoehorning a boxer motor into a Porsche 944 engine bay that currently houses an line four seems futile. Rather get an S2000 mill and talk about having 240 Horschepower.

It was a pastor driving out in the desert, I think it was a part of a 3 mini series part of different stories. One of them was called Bishop of Battle? Unless you mean Maximum Overdrive with the goblin face semi truck. EDIT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmares_(1983_film) The Benediction

Stephen King directed that movie, and only two good things came out of that movie: who made who and Stephen King's cocaine addiction. And the goblin truck was kinda neat too I guess. Hell I work third shift tonight, might as well watch it again.
