Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
I think way more patience than I have.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
And some more brackets! These are for mounting up the Mustang fan assembly to the 944. Of course I had to trim a the fan a couple of places. And it's now mounted "upside down" from the way it is oriented in the Mustang. But all-in-all it turned out pretty nice.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
The only mods to the fan plastic was to cut off a chunk of 1 arm and also scallop a place to clear the 944 headlight popup shaft. (The picture shows my scallop marks before I cut them out.)

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
More brackets!!
Little rubber bumpers off GM W-body, then grafted into the 944 to help sandwich the radiator. The arm things are the other half of the sandwich. I even remembered to re-attach the nose skin on the 944 and make damn sure I could remove the radiator and fan assy from below without the convenience of having the nose open (like the way it looks in most of the pictures). And I jumped the fan motor to the battery and verified the fan (from the donor Mustang) works OK and didn't make any bad noises. Last edited by sparkydog; 01-22-2018 at 08:45 PM. |

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
And then two simple strap brackets to secure the Camaro air intake plenum thing.
Next was cutting a rather large hole in the firewall to allow the ECU connectors from the engine harness to pass thru into the passenger compartment. |

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Thanks French!
Some shots of the air filter box that I eventually used and the funky bracket I had to fab up to mount it. I will need to mod the box itself. It hangs low on one corner and I need to redirect the air entry passage up into the bumper area. But progress is progress. |

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
More work on the connection tube between the Camaro intake plenum and the (whatever model) air filter box - all while dodging bits of the 944 headlight mechanism.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Hi everyone. I haven't kept the thread current so here's a quick catchup:
The general trend was to try and get any/all fab work around the engine bay complete so that I could pull the motor and then prep/paint the engine bay. Toward that end I give you all the brackets and doodads I made. I'm now ready to pull the motor and shift over to some non-fab tasks for a few weeks. The things in the picture are all going to get cleaned, sand blasted, painted and seam-sealed. |

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
I keep think of the Johnny cash song as I watch your build...One piece at a time, Instead of just the years of caddys rolling out in the song, you can run thru manufactures parts included in the build! Nice work as always. Keep on trudgin'.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
The motor and trans going back in.
 Now there's a new list of a few dozen things to do on the run-up to making noises from the motor.

Good to see it in. Hopefully it will stay there. So what, 2 weeks and she races?

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
Here is a link to a very poor quality video w/sound. Sorry for the low resolution – it is only my 2nd ever YouTube upload.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q59xACBmF2c No muffler yet and probably a couple of exhaust leaks. However progress is progress! |
