Porsche engine was Re: [DML] New Frame



It is a horizontal 6 not straight. Has anyone looked at 1988 or newer 944s
engine? it is a 2.7 inline turbo 4 cyl water cooled with about 220hp at the
flywheel stock. With a few simple mods you can run 250-300hp at the rear
wheels as a reliable daily driver. The only problem I see is traction since
it is an all aluminum engine which weighs very little.
