No just rear wheel drive only. The 4g63 is the same length but taller and lighter. I will find out how it handles. Never herd of any negatives about handling from any of the conversions.
Car dropped off at body shop today, get it back in two weeks. Then motor build.

Such a cool project.
God forbid anybody from any of the Porsche forums like 6speedonline see this; this would be so blasphemous for them to hear about.
I always wanted to do some sort of weird swap.
BTW, what about the drivetrain........are you planning on making it AWD too?

It seems a cool project!
I had an EVO and now I have a Porsche too!
Personally I would go with a flat four Subaru STI motor just to keep the boxer characteristics of the car and the lower center of gravity. Plus I think mounting would be easier...
Good luck with the project. Can't wait to see the end result.

the motor out of your 996t is arguably just as great as the 4g63, those metzger motors can make 900whp for years, one of the baddest 6cyl, ever.
cool build though!

Sub'd, this is all kinds of awesome. Was starting to think of a P car, but reading up on IMS failures made me think twice. There's a guy who did a SBC swap bc of that, but I like your choice better.
