I found a thread talking about it but the link from that thread to the original one does not work.

Re: Help me find it.. vette powered porsche

Seems to me an engine of that size placed so far back would make that a wheelie machine, especially with the extra traction gained with that extra weight.

911 engine weighs about 460 lbs

LS1 engine weighs about 480 lbs

Really no extra weight at all.

Another video shows it running 11.9/114 in the quarter... not to shabby!

Half the enjoyment of a 911 is the sweet sound of its flat 6. That thing sounds like an aeroplane!
