[V8] V8....what? Again!

[Eric Devansky]

When reading up on my car (91 V8Q) the manual stated that the California
cars were the only ones to have check engine lights installed. I don't know
if this is the case on the 4.2 or not.

That's a great post Rodger. I assume you are a 928 owner as well (I
currently have a 951). Someone over at Rennlist was telling me that the 928
and the V8Q motors were very similar, what is your opinion on this? Has
anyone ever tried a swap?
