I recently brought a '90T3 and the motor is good but down the track I wanna get a herbier motor in it. I've seen much about Sub motors but not a lot about Porsche. What is best Porsche motor for ease of fit, power and cost? in other words what's a happy medium between those 3 competing attributes? Expense? I hear U say........

I think you get the point.
Expect major surgery, a porsche gearbox and the like. You need to look at the racetaxi and talk to some euro guys.

This is a T3 chassis with porsche running gear.
There are a number of porsche specialists who've converted T3s over the years. Ring around and you'll find one to talk to about it. But just
remember, it won't be cheap.
porsche lol
Don't get me wrong, if I had the dollars, I'd built a porsche powered T3. There are a lot more engine and mod options with porsches than subaru flat 6s. And then there is the HP! If you could buy a wrecked GT3 as a parts car, you'd have a bus that would destroy any HSV and most other sports cars too. But again, it all comes down to $$$$.
I know where a full drivetrain from a 2002 996 GT2 is for sale in Sydney if anyone is interested. Comes with brakes, suspension, gearbox and motor.
Two people were killed in the car it came from which kinda puts me off it.

Not much else left of that GT2 I'm afraid. Ironically I have a set of front/rear bumpers in great condition, and a complete engine lid from a 1999
Carrera 2 996. They aren't turbo items which is probably what your looking for, but they are in great condition. Artic Silver if that helps! I'll PM
you.
fulcrum test drive on ipswich rd?
Want an engine like this?
Trike take corners faster than motorcycles. So this machine would have massive G forces.
as for the dragon slayer trike sure that one might out corner a motorcyle! Only on a planet in a far away galaxy where the laws of physics no longer apply!
