I can't think of much that's more 80s than that Blaupunkt tape deck with the matching equalizer beneath it...

Gooseneck remote and a giant, mounted car phone.

5-cylinder motors are almost a bolt-in (motor mounts need to be moved and only the cross-flow motors will clear the strut tower) Biggest issue is the 924 N/A used a non-common clutch spline, while the 924 Turbo and 944 used a more common Ford and Chrysler compatible clutch spline.
Two questions. Which motors are cross flow? And is there a way around the clutch spline problem?
20-valve motors are crossflow. Turbo and non-turbo. Apparently the hot trick is a 10-valve block with a 20-valve head. Add turbo, enjoy banshee wail.
To fix the spline issue, you can use a racing clutch from an early Audi (034motorsports.com) or you can change the Torque Tube out for the later style piece from a 944 and use a Chrysler/Ford clutch from something V8 powered. Many cars are starting to have bearing issues with the torque tubes, so it might be prudent to be ready to replace the bearings in either case if you're that deep into it.
