i get the idea of turbocharging a 968, supercharging a 968, putting aV8 into a 968, or putting anything more powerful into a 944 i fail to understand why anybody would do this to a 968 - if you wanted a 951, get one - why do this "reverse transplant"? they lost all of the good things about the 968 - basically they took a 951 and added 300lbs looks? cost? what would be the motivation? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/968-2011-rebuild-944S-Turbo-Engine-and-More-/220807710304?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item33692a4660&clk_rvr_id=245703837635#ht_1383wt_1006

having just gone through this myself just trying to adapt the 951 tach to the 968, the wiring issues alone would steer me away from it - the instrument cluster, brain and everything associated to it are different - can you imagine having to track down a second hand problem later?
