Hmmn, might be hard to put a V-6 Porche (extra fast and foreign thing on the front of your house) engine in anything as Porsche has never made a V-6 that I can recall unless the current 968? has one but I think they are still pretty much making inline 4's flat 6's and V 8's, hmmn maybe he want to cut a few cylinders off a 928 mill.

Sorry feeling like a real $*#hole today. Course what's new.
