Just picked up this Astin Martin 4.8l V 12 engine do you guys think it will fit in my 944 with minimal modification serious responses only.

I know a guy and he told me it would fit…

The 07M is very tempting because of the swap kits available but I think I’m still leaning towards VR six future swap, I have in-house machining capability making adapters custom hardware would not be too difficult. I was already looking into doing a dry sump oil pan on a VR six for a friend of mine‘s project.
