Victor, I think that it's just too big to fit in the Porche, but good luck just the same.

If that engine finds its way under the hood of an E I'll flip out.

Damn.. You know.. I never even thought of that... Although, I think it would be near impossible to stuff that V12 in the rear of the 993.... Great idea though!!

Yeah... I found a 600 series TT motor but nothing from a 65. I was hoping someone might have a connection or know of a wrecked 65 somewhere...

How is your 65 doing??

I know of a guy selling a 65 near me. With proper incentives, I'll take it for a test drive with an unfortunate outcome.

i think vrus is about to take a shortcut to complete his 700hp quest...


then again, given that a 55 engine costs about 15k, looking at all the money some of you guys put into making your cars faster (and im not criticizing, i would if i could...), im not entirely convinced that shoe horning a 65 engine into an e-class would be a bad idea....

If i had the cash, thats what i would be doing...
