Got me thinking, while replacing my headgasket...That is a problem the 944 turbo guys have often...I have a complete low mileage Turbo motor sitting in my shop, that I got to put into a 944 chassis I own.  But the chassis has a non-stock body, making the whole install kinda a break even deal when I finished it...so I have been ignoring that lump of plastic wrapped metal under my workbench, and I can't even SEE the car from here, it being out behind my hay shed...
