We have discovered a real eye-catcher on the web! Specifically, it is a 1981 Porsche 911 SC Targa from 1981, with a "subtle" modification under the sheet metal. And the XNUMX has "a slightly larger engine' from General Motors. Specifically, an insanely huge 8,2-liter engine V8 from Cadillac, which was Cadillac's largest and highest-torque V8 series engine in the 8s. In general, there has never been a bigger Cadillac VXNUMX! In order for the engine to fit in the XNUMX, however, some sheet metal work had to be carried out and the shock absorbers had to be moved. According to the builder, the rest was relatively "simple", because the Eldorado engine supposedly even fit the OEM mounting points. However, specially made engine mounts, constant velocity joints, various adapters were necessary and the axles are also custom.

A tailor-made cooler is installed as well as a Sports exhaust system. The innards of the engine are also completely new. In addition, many forged components were installed, there was a modified one Camshaft and the valve train is new. There were also aluminum cylinder heads and Holley Sniper fuel injection. High-performance pumps have also been installed for the lubrication and cooling system, and the exhaust manifolds have been given a double ceramic coating inside and out. By the way, the vehicle was made Michael Dyer Brooks from Newport Beach (California). He ensured that the three-liter boxer six-cylinder has disappeared and that the classic 8 is now powered by a VXNUMX, which is full in terms of displacement 2,73 times larger at a hunt.

The classic, converted into a mid-engine 8,2, received a tailor-made luggage compartment cover from Brooks and a massive and also specially made double cooler under the tailgate. The aluminum heat exchanger cools the large 425-liter engine and the engine is coupled to an optimized GM THM400 three-speed automatic transmission (Turbo Hydramatic 911).
