Most Porsche sports car folk are pretty open to swaps -- many are "hot rodders" themselves.

A 928 at least deserves an LS, though...

I can still recall the techs running and hiding when I brought my 928 S4 in for servicing, oh the cussing they did. I won't even get into the "front" engine nonsense I had to deal with. They made the corvette schmucks look good.

This with a LS swap would be heaven to me. I absolutely loved my 928, except for my yearly maintenance.

You know if the paint job looks cheap in pictures, then it's really bad in person.

whad'ya wanna bet they didn't use the special flexible paint for the rubber bumpers?

They painted the entire car with 'muffler paint'.

Ha! I didn’t even notice that. The body-colored muffler is pretty much the calling card of a bad paint job. You have to wonder if they washed it first...
