can you put an engine from a Porsche 911 into a Porsche 356?

admin — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 05:46:04 +0000

I want to put the more powerful 6cyl. engine into the classy older model car. They are both horizontally opposed, in line, air cooled engines. And the model of the cars are very close. But I don't know if one will fit the other. Or if so, what kits, mods or converstions are necessary.

They make engines that are very powerful for the 356. The type of car your looking to build is call an outlaw. I was looking at 2 cars yesterday (356A and a speedster) that were running modified 916 motors in them. As with anything old Porsche it going to cost heavy. Join http://www.356registry.org/ to learn more about it, I think they can point you in the right direction.

1955 Porsche 356 speedster vs 1955 Mercedes 300sl gullwing?

admin — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 23:18:22 +0000

how well would these cars have competed against one another? strengths-weaknesses?

The 300SL gullwing was an expensive car, but by no stretch of the imagination was it a luxury car. Nor was the Speedster, being a stripped and decontented version of the 356. While an effective endurance racer, the 300SL was a brutal car to drive on the road. It had no luxury features whatsoever, unless you count a redundant heater and the option of fitted luggage. In fact, the gullwing was so uncomfortable that it was replaced by the 300SL roadster, which allowed the driver to put down the top to minimize the agony of being cooked by the physically huge limo engine. The roadster also had the luxury of doors that came down close to floor height so that driver and passenger could actually get in and out of the car without injury. Very few Mercedes of the '50 were luxury cars in any capacity, the large 300 sedans, coupes, and convertibles being something of an exception. The greatest Mercedes engineer, Rudolf Uhlenhaut, was quoted as saying that if someone was so inept that they couldn't roll down their own window, they had no business behind the wheel of one of his cars. What you paid for when you bought a Mercedes was exceptional durability, attention to safety, and performance that didn't fade with the miles. It wasn't until the Japanese started competing with the top Germans that the German cars became the gadget laden unreliable junk that they are today.

Hamann Stallion base on Porsche 911 Turbo

admin — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 22:52:16 +0000

Not satisfied with “only” 480 horsepower, the Hamann Stallion packs a whopping 630 of its namesakes. To achieve that 150hp boost in output, Hamann swapped out the variable nozzle turbochargers and replaced them with… bigger variable nozzle turbochargers.
