While some may say that, an engine-swap in a classic 1977 Porsche 911 Turbo is the definition of car-sacrilege, we know one or two people that would be quite fascinated with a project like this. For the record, we aren’t among them. If our Deutsch translation serves us correct, the owner of the 930 (type-number for the first-gen 911 Turbo) threw out the 3.0-liter turbo flat six for a 350 V8 Chevy crate engine which he then enlarged to 383 cubic inches (from 5.7 to 6.3-liters) adding a Kompressor just for kicks. There’s no mentioning of weight distribution, but we would definitely stay away from the car if we saw a cloud on the sky. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below

wayyyy too heavy in the back for cornering but excellent for drag racing.
A fully dressed 930 Turbo engine weighs more than a SBC with Alum heads and intake dressed for a 930. I have performed several of these conversions over the years.
i want one!
Death trap, this modder has cut through the rear structural panel!!
this "modder"...
No. I have 2 911s targas. Done my research the SBC is comparable
In weight but the cg of the SBC will be higher because its a v engine.
I'm doing a conversion one of my 911s now.looking forward to lower repair cost.
And its cheaper there are kits that don't damage the old motor mounts so you can put
A 911 motor back in.
This is a death-trap! I've owned 2 - 911's with the Renegade Conversions and I would NEVER cut a structural support in this car.....
