My 944 taught me that matching tires are overrated. The car handles BEST if at least 2 of the tires are from another century. Bonus points if those two tires aren't both on the front or rear. (note: best in this case is defined as "most terrifyingly")
I have a friend that specilizes in LS motors here in MD. He can do a very nice tune on one if you ever go for it. The LS motors are also the engine of choice for drift cars now too.
You mean it handles like a 911? I kid, I kid... Etmracing, thanks for the tip. The cool thing is that, soon, I'll have access to lifts, machining equip, etc. so I can easily and inexpensively do the grunt work and then have someone tune it and make it all more cohesive...which I admittedly know exactly zilch about
I dropped a LS6 crate into my 951 race car. We were unable to use 90% of the popular conversion kit components. I bought the entire kit from Renegade and sold or modified every piece. The kit was junk but may be passable for a street only car. I have a ton of photos and experience of this subject if you are interested.

What are you guys using or front a arms? In your experience what would you recommend for the suspension? Was looking at assorted racers edge components. I have a set of Clubsport Motons and I was trying to decide on where to use delrin, spherical, etc.
Great to read about your build Michael B. Could you share your source and specs of your radiator build? Thanks. Mike.
Not sure if you know about this place but they sell custom radiators for these conversions: Renegade Hybrids Scott
Scott98, Thanks. Yes, I've checked them out. Yhey use a Ron Davis rad. I was also checking out Griffin and C&R. Trying to cover all bases especially for track use.
Since the 944 motor is essentially half of a 928 engine, has anyone explored swapping in a 928 motor?
