Have you done any right hand drive kits?
Thanks,
Tony

xschop Thu Aug 28, 2014 12:40 pm

No experience there. Contact Eric (admin) at TPC. I would think the only difference is headers.

Ok thanks,

I was gonna say either Allison V1710 or Rolls Royce Merlin.

xschop Thu Sep 04, 2014 2:40 pm

Yeah that's a V1710 factory supercharged. Not mine, but guy who bought my LS1 928. I have an order in for another 1gz V12. It would need a tall hood scoop for the 944, but I will drop it in an SC3/400.

I would like to actually see the traffic and pedestrians.

Hey xschop, I'm curious about your swap kit. Are they still available? You seem to have quite a bit of experience with the 944 swap. My swap is an 88 944 n/a for street use. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Texas Performance Concepts has all the swap parts you need. Kent is very helpful with the installs as well.

Can't say enough about Texas Performance Concepts. I made the mistake of buying a Renegade kit and have slowly upgraded to several TPC parts over the past 2 years for my LS3 powered 86' 951.

xschop: I need to upgrade my axles. Are you still making upgraded ones? Or will i have to resort to the "cringe" $600ea LR ones..

xschop Thu Jul 27, 2017 3:55 pm

Yes I can still make a set of axle shafts. $400 shipped US-48... Just PM.
Also I have a couple C5 bellhousing adapters on hamd as well with matching LS pilot bearing adapters. $350 shipped US-48 only.

I'm interested in the axle shafts as well. I have an early car, but I will send you the OEM axle shaft for correct measurements.

Hey_Allen Tue May 04, 2021 3:19 pm

Contact Texas Performance Concepts for the parts, their link is at the top of the home page.

thats a decent option . XSchop had really decent prices on some custom parts hence the question. rather not spend 5k$ in parts if I dont have to

Hey_Allen Tue May 04, 2021 4:13 pm

I believe he turned production of the kit pieces over to TPC when he was no longer tinkering with a 928, but I am not certain of the details.

seems like it. as I go thru threads on this website I see more and more dead and unfinished threads from 10 yrs ago. sad as I love to wrench but I like a guide and prepped parts. 2300$ for a set of headers is a bit much . and I always support the small shops if I can. guess ill have to mix up the r/h and tpc parts to get were I need to be
