The engine would be good but the problem comes with the Transmission.
the 924 uses a transxle which (in the 924) is under the backseats/Hatch area - the thing is big and suspended by torsion bars. The clutch is in the
usual place on the back of the engine, connected to the gearbox/final drive by a torque tube.
Having said all the above I'm sure someone has posted on here that they are using the 924, so maybe a search is in order.
HTH
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Might be wrong but thought the 924 engine was a VW/ Audi unit of some sort ?

Err, the 924 engine IS a VW/Audi unit. Only the 924 turbo (and maybe the S) had Porsche built engines in.

The 924 engine is basically a LT28 truck engine with a bit of porsche fettling
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

The 924 Turbo was the VW engine with a blower on it - the 924S was basically the 944 engine in the narrow body.

Live my life in IT world 3 letter acronyms,
An acronym is an abbreviation which spells something like another word, like quango. ROTFLMAO is a bunch of letters which can be made into a word
FLOORMAT so it's more of an anagram.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

porker 924 engine
well here is the answer everybody doesnt care about:
924 eng is form vw van (also audi used it) with a bit of jiggery pokery by porsche
924 turbo was same engin with blower on it
924s was porker designed engine, basically half of the V8 of the 928 which was OK
turbos worth a fortune so better sell than kill and 924S is still fetching a premium so may as well sell and buy a Kseries or whatever....better still
a git big bike engine!!!
