Looking for a 968 LS swapped car

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and new to the 968. I'm looking for a completed ls1 swapped 968. Figured this is a good place to start. I'm located in Los Angeles. Thanks in advance.

I've only seen 2 ls swapped 968's. One was somewhere in Europe, and the other was a race car only.

Is this just not done cause it's that much harder to swap for some reason compared to a 944 or mainly just cause the 968's are such fewer and far between than all the years of 944's combined?

I have one but it's not for sale.

I didn't do the work and I'm not a mechanic but I can tell you the 968 LS1 swap is more challenging than the 944 due to the lower hood slope. Changes to the intake & radiator are required, and the headers have to be modified to clear the steering rack. Header/exhaust routing is also a big challenge. There are probably lots of other issues I'm forgetting at the moment.

My mechanic at the time actually retired when my car was ~80% done and I suspect the challenges with my car may have been part of his decision :-) . I also decided to switch out the 6-speed 968 transaxle for a 951s AOR, including custom 3-4-5th gears, which brought its own set of issues (and like all LS1 swaps, the gearing is still "wrong").
