A different upgrade option. Fit in a used 4.7 engine from a GT-S. It’s what Alfa did when they turned a GranSport into the 8C, so it can be done.
Years ago I did a similar thing to my first 944 S. The original 2.5 lt engine dropped a valve, so lunched itself. I replaced it with the 3.0 lt engine from a later 944 S2. Worked a treat, giving me the most powerful and fastest 944 S around. I had the work done my my local Porsche main dealer to make it “official”. But in those days, main dealer labour rates were far more reasonable.
