Would a porsche cayenne turbo or carrera gt (with turbo added) be able to be put into this car without too much moding, I know the engine will be super expensive but hey we can all dream

[924 turbo]

I called PCNA for the dimensions of the engine, and it looks like it'll bolt right up to the torque tube! They said it was a direct fit, and they're selling a 924 n/a installation kit for $5 that includes motor mounts and an exhaust from front to back. They said the 924 n/a transmission would have no problem holding up to the 500+ horsepower of the Cayenne turbo V8, you just have to add a special transmission fluid their engineers designed that comes in the $5 installation kit. The engine will come with everything including the computer, and will be $20000 for most Porsche owners, but only $1150 for 924 owners, because Porsche respects us so much, on account of our totally awesome cars.

Next week I'm calling Lamborghini to see if they have a kit for the Murcielago 6.2l V12, and Ferrari to see if the new 6.0l V12 will fit, and of course the Carrera GT's 5.5l V10, which will probably also be a bolt-in swap!

924 turbo, i was just wondering here, but did they mention anything about the car tearing itself into about 10,000 parts the second you tried to touch the gas?

actually the way the drive train is set up it wouldn't tear it to shit it should be able to handle it without too much trouble
