Good luck on the restoration, and do tell what engine swap you're planning for the porsche

The specific engine is up for debate but it will most likely be an LS motor or a variant of that motor.Desert635 wrote:Good luck on the restoration, and do tell what engine swap you're planning for the porsche

That thing will be a beast. I've been thinking of doing the same to a trashed e30 and keep it as a track toy

Will do, once my shark is back together I'll start my search for it. Would be great to get updates on the porsche as welljuiceof07 wrote:I've seen that before and they are extremely powerful!

I can definitely do that! I'll have to start another thread for it. Which means a different site...ill keep you posted in where I decide to go for the 944.Desert635 wrote:Will do, once my shark is back together I'll start my search for it.

So much has happened! ....I've been doing more work and less updating. Follow my progress on Instragram. (lcherisol). Pictures are worth a lot more than words so here it goes!
Time to go to the machine shop!
Started on the body work of the car. It has minimal rust so there wasn't much repair to do.

Started to clean the engine bay and shave off the mounts I would no longer need. Where's the fuse box you ask? In the car...

Re: 1988 635csi "Bring Her Back to Life"
Got rid of the hydro boost braking system and installing a vacuum brake booster. Thanks mye28.com! No more brake bomb foolery! Also considering a mounting spot for wasted spark. Also trying to figure out if I can get that volvo cooling fan into this car. A friend of mine installed it on his e34 and that thing is a work horse!! It's just an extremely tight space... .

Starting to pull the other motor out of the car.
Got to examine the injectors in the car and I see why it was running soooo rough...
Went by the machine shop to drop off valve stem seals, HD springs, and freeze plugs and I saw my block all cleaned up!
