Thanks for all the kind words guys! This is going to be a dream come true. I can hardly even imagine what it's going to be like the first time I put the key in the ignition. Quote: Originally Posted by NuclearSymphony »

For now, its being built to be a mid-engined GT3. The suspension is already there (and then some), so it just needs the motor to complete the project. Quote: Originally Posted by easyc »

For those that don't follow, 987 transmissions and all 997 transmissions (gt3 included) spin different ways due to their orientation, plus bell housings dont match...
Good luck though! and keep us updated!!!
GT3 transmission flipped upside-down. Many people have thought about doing an engine swap with a GT3 motor in the past, but the transmission is usually the thing that throws the spanner in the works (so to speak). |
