Hello all,
I am newly registered to LS1Tech, as I now have an LS to play with, but have been reading the tech forums for ideas for a while.

My project is a v8 swap into a Porsche 944, so far I have the car (with original engine removed) and a couple of stacks of parts, including a nearly complete Gen III LM7 5.3 Iron block engine, with 862 heads, and a Gen IV LH6 aluminum short block which I intend to frankenstein together with an LS1 intake, CTS-V accessories, and either LS1 or LS3 cam and associated parts depending on cost and compatibility.

No doubt I will have plenty of questions for you as this progresses.

Another Okie here, although not originally. I'm in Bartlesville. Your project should be fun when completed. Which transmission do you plan to use?

I'm in Tulsa, not an original Okie either, but I like it here.

I'm sticking with the standard 5-speed for now, with a tailshaft reinforcement plate added in. I'm also keeping an eye out for a 944 Turbo transmission (hopefully with the limited slip differential) for further down the road, but those tend to be pricey.
