Good luck with it though.
It's a disgrace to whom? Porsche? The engine builder? Ferdinand himself? An automobile is a machine comprised of 1,000's of parts assembled together to do one thing, propel itself from point a to point b. Unless its a factory sponsored race team then what does it matter what parts are used to get to point b? What will it take to get well over 300whp out of a Porsche 2.7 liter and what will it cost?

Would it be a disgrace to replace the Z32 300zx's VG30DE/TT with a Z06 LS7? Normally aspirated it's more power and torque than a stock twin turbo, lighter engine, and practically a breeze to work on for tons less money. You want to know a real disgrace, check out the little black cam cover caps on front of the VG30DE from a '90 n/a 300zx...a Mitsubishi DSM logo, imagine that! Ferrari 308 window switch came from a 7-series BMW, 1999+ Lamborghini Diablo headlights from the Nissan 300zx. The Crossfire and 300m are practically Mercedes everything, from engine to suspension so is it a disgrace that I know one person with an S10 and another with a AE86 Corolla that both have BMW engines in it? You go with what you know plus the 13b is half the displacement of the Porsche engine yet is putting out considerable more power for alot less money.

If I was able to get a Ferrari rolling chassis you better believe I'd have a Z06 engine in it mated to whatever transmission to make it work! Ever priced a valve adjustment on a Ferrari?!!

Oh yeah, I've seen more 911's with 350's/SBC's in them than rotaries
