It broke?
Indeed. Pulled the dizzy cap and cranked it over to see if the cam would turn... Needless to say, it did not.
Its an old porsche are you suprised 
What happened? Hopefully it is an easy fix...
That sucks. Don't those things call for a timing belt every 30000 miles or so.
Timing belt gone? That might get a little ouch.
The answer is as usual LS1
Ouch. That sounds like it might hurt.
Noooooooo!!
Like an abusive girlfriend, they Punish you for loving them. I've been there brother.
Something in the hydraulics? Guess its a smart idea to own a tow truck, or is it included in the purchase of an old Porsche? 
Is that a for sale picture in a CL add or something?
Not entirely surprised. It was my own fault for not changing the T-belt yet. I was planning to do it this winter. They are recommended to change at 45,000, and I had about 39,000 on this one.
Oh well. Anyone know where I can get a 3 liter bottom end? I think I need big displacement turbo power.
That sucks. Another reason I'm glad I drive non-interference equipped cars.
I agree that LSJuan is in order, the 2.5 is such a boring motor, put something exciting in there :)
Glad I'm not alone.
My 850 Turbo volvo started blowing smoke BAD yesterday.
30PSI compression in #4 cylinder.
Looks like I'm car shopping.
If there is anything lucky about the situation, it's that we are a 2 driver 3 car household. Until earlier today, all three were running perfectly.
You have Remotecs on that?

No, they are MSW Mesh wheels that I picked up for a song. I cannot stand the center caps, however, so I leave them off. (not my picture, btw.)
Should have sold it before it broke, like I did! 
Seriously though, that sucks Brad. I like the idea of a 3.0L, but not boost. Can you slam an S2 motor in there? How about a 928 V8?
Sorry to hear...
At first, second, or even third glance that sucks. However, at least you have an extra car and an excuse to build a better 944.
Too bad you're so far away now, 'cause I owe ya some garage time.
Outchie. 
Thats why non-interference is a prerequisite for me.

Sounds like a trip to Ohio is in order! Tell the boss you're taking the week off!
I hear you.
I got punted at 80mph coming out of Thunder Valley on Friday... no real damage, just a little tirewall kiss... but I finished dead last due to getting stuck trying to come back from the wet grass. It took what seemed like an eternity to rejoin.
I dropped a cylinder 13 minutes into a 90 minute race on Sunday. I then proceeded to beat the berkeley out of it for the remaining laps so I could say I finished the damn thing. 8 laps down. In 5th from last. And probably destroyed the motor. I hate cars.
In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:
I bet you are going to try and stay as far away from Mid Ohio as you can from now on.
I tried to get back up on Sunday but my wife threatened bodily harm if I was gone all day again.
