I plan on removing an air-cooled porsche engine from a 1980 911 and putting in a WRX 2.0l engine or the WRX sti 2.5l engine, but I have two concerns.First, how hard is it to properly negotiate cooling for such an engine? Since the porsche was air-cooled originally, is it difficult to arrange the logistics of a water-cooled engine such as a WRX or similar?
Second, do you use the tranny from the OEM porsche or do you use the tranny that comes along with the engine?
Besides these two details, I think I have most things figured out
Thank you, and picts will be up soon, I am rebodying a 1980 911 with a 1998 993 porsche turbo S fiberglass body
