Passing along the comment of Jim Miller who had a 3.2 in the same van he now has a subi-a-roo aka Fuji Heavy Industries putter plant. FWIW. Hi Mark, Its been a while since I last saw you. The Porsche engine is gone I am afraid. This motor went back into a 3.2 911. I must have sold it about two years ago. > From my expierence with this conversion and the subaru conversion > there is no way i would use the porsche engine again. The Subaru is more efficent, cheaper to run, gentler on the transmision,smoother, and sounds dead stock with a very little snarl. |
