Very cool project! I have a 1983 944 and a 1987 924s(same drivetrain as a Early 944). I was researching EV swaps and found your channel! Very excited to see how you are going to mount the motor and seeing the rest of the swaps progress. Can't wait for the next video!
Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you’ll keep me posted on your progress! One suggestion if you haven’t found a 944 yet. Mine is an ‘84, which means it harder to upgrade suspension. 85.5+ years are more desirable since it’s easier to pop in coilovers to accommodate higher battery weights.
@fixityfix I don't know much about EV but I know 944 😊 with a Early car and want to do a coilover swap you can use 1986-88 924s aluminum trailing arms or would be easier to get the whole rear assembly (rear arms, brakes, metal brake line, hubs, pivot arm and the longer axles). I have coilovers on my 924s and will be converting my 1983 944 with the same setup someday.

Thanks for watching and for the kind, encouraging comment!
I’m thinking about doing this myself, I’m looking for the 944 to start with. I’m going to be following along.
