I'm posting this ad as a feeler of sorts. This car is a project that I finished almost a year ago, and I'm looking to possibly move onto something else. It's not that I'm not pleased with the car... because honestly, it's exceeded all of my expectations. It's just that I love projects and I would have to sell this car to make room for something else. So here is the story on the build...

I bought the chassis (it's a 78' 911SC) as a rolling chassis. I had researched buying a used 911 drive train, and decided that I didn't want to spend the $6-$8k for a used Porsche engine/transmission. Instead I decided to design and make my own, custom Subaru engine conversion. I didn't feel that a V8 conversion was an appropriate alternative to the Porsche boxer engine, so I researched Subaru engines and found that the EG33 engine was VERY similar in displacement and size as the stock 3.0 SC engine. In fact, the EG33 is lighter, more powerful (50 more HP than the stock Porsche engine), cheaper to buy and maintain, got better gas mileage than the Porsche engine. My mind was made up and I started the build. Here are the specs for all components involved in making this engine bolt into the 911 chassis...

-120K mile EG33 engine (3.3 litre engine out of a 1992 Subaru SVX)mated to a stock 915 transmission
-Kennedy Engineering adapter kit, clutch kit, and flywheel
-Custom motor mount system
-Custom tubular headers (heat wrapped)
-Custom stainless steel exhaust
-Custom aluminum intake system
-Custom aluminum racing radiator with shrouding
-Stainless braided cooling hoses -16 and -20 AN fittings
-Custom fuel system with Pierburg pump and -6 stainless braided lines
-Custom aluminum fuel tank utilizing stock fuel fill
-Modified Subaru engine management system with converted Porsche VDO gauges


The car also has the following...

-17x7.5 and 17x9 Rota Fox, Fuchs replica wheels
-Falken RT615 tires (only 1000 miles on them)
-IROC fiberglass bumpers and tail (still need final body work and paint)
-New door seals

I'm asking $9,000 for the car and as of right now, the price is firm. Like I said, this is sort of a feeler ad. I'm in no hurry to sell it. I LOVE the car and I enjoy driving it. It's just in the way of other ambitions.

You don't happen to take trades of the first born sorts do you?

no.... but only because I'm expecting my own first born in 5-6 months /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

Bummer, SICK whip...if you don't sell, and work goes as planned in a few months we will be talking.

water cooled 911s with swaps are awesome. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What an awesome project! Great job on fabrication! $11k is a steal for this car.

I am glad that I have my Mitsu powered TR7 project I just might have picked this up...

I have seen this car in person and it is absolutley amazing. Someone needs to buy this.

Looks nice! Is that rust though?

I was thinking the same thing. That firewall looks pretty rusty???

In the close ups it looks like it's insulation.

I Want! Only if I had money

That comes rust colored now huh? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

No, not now, but from a German manufacturer in 1978? Possibly. Look at the photos in the 13 pages in the link he posted.

That's not rust. It's the spray in glue that they used back in the day to glue in the sound pad in the engine bay, and the insulation on the firewall. Porsche started galvanizing their 911 chassis in 1977. This particular car was originally from California, and then ended up in AZ. There is absolutely no rust on it anywhere.

Pwned again, time for a title update..

Bump for an amazing car, if I were loaded I'd snatch that thing up in a second.

I thought I would miss that throaty air cooled sound, but man this car sound really cool.

here are some interior shots. It needs a quick vacuum, but at least you can see it's all there and in good shape.

now on Ebay...
