I am intrigued with the Porsche 911 engine swap that MSDS offers at: http://www.msdsinc.com/ I'm wondering if anyone has any actual experience with this swap. I am no mechanic so I apologize if this question does not make sense. I know they often put in the Porsche G50 transmission but what about the drivetrain? Would the 911 engine overwhelm it? My dream vehicle is a syncro westy with this swap. But would I be better off just swapping the engine on my air cooled? Can the syncro drivetrain handle it?
