Mike D'Silva Posted 26June, 2014 Report Share Posted 26June, 2014 In this case we don't need to replace the pistons and/or cylinders. If one was to do so you'd probably go JE and Mahle 3.8 respectively but they're ~$5k plus there is some additional machining required. Given the condition of the engine we can reuse the existing pistons and cylinders with new rings, springs & retainers, seals, gaskets, conrod bolts, head studs and bearings etc. Engine will also be blueprinted and balanced, receive new cams and the aforementioned rockers and oil pump. Can't recall what was said about line honing (assume it would be done) and boring and resurfacing the cylinders (don't think it's necessary unless fitting oversized pistons). Then there are all the ancillaries like dizzy caps, rotor buttons, leads etc etc. No doubt a heap of things I've missed there. Thanks for the detailed reply. Can i ask a ballpark for what it costs just in parts for the motor bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 26June, 2014 Report Share Posted 26June, 2014 Why not go with ITB's if you're planning to run some higher duration cams etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 26June, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 26June, 2014 Why not go with ITB's if you're planning to run some higher duration cams etc? Funny you mention that! Waiting on a price on GT3 plenum and ITBs like on Sydr's car but think I might be a bit exxy. Thanks for the detailed reply. Can i ask a ballpark for what it costs just in parts for the motor bits? I actually don't know the exact breakdown but a full rebuild typically runs to $23-25k depending on what can be reused and top end rebuilds approx $15k. It can vary greatly especially if you need big ticket items like pistons and cylinders ($5k) If I had to guess, labour would be $5-8k (50-60 hours at $80-90/hour). Others on here have done their own builds so should be able to confirm what parts and machining cost.

clutch-monkey Posted 27June, 2014 Report Share Posted 27June, 2014 Why not go with ITB's if you're planning to run some higher duration cams etc? looking at the cams he's chosen they should work fine with the stock induction (i have RS/Cup cams or something in mine). ITB's would be nice but it's icing on the cake haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 29June, 2014 Report Share Posted 29June, 2014 I've just caught on to this build. I like where it's headed. A good tip for anyone pulling down an air cooled 911 is shown in a couple of your pics. Mark your cylinders with an engraver. This way you can put them back in the same order and avoid machining to match deck heights. And my 2 c on the colour, original grey is beautiful, but if you're going for coloured highlights then a solid or even matte grey is a winner.

JV911 Posted 18July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 18July, 2014 Any ideas for alternative reverse lights once the rear reflector is replaced/painted? I was thinking maybe it could be rewired so that both indicators come on but open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 18July, 2014 Report Share Posted 18July, 2014 Any ideas for alternative reverse lights once the rear reflector is replaced/painted? I was thinking maybe it could be rewired so that both indicators come on but open to suggestions. You could always leave the reverse lights unpainted. I tinted my lights with some nightshade red yesterday and masked off the reverse lights for the first few coats. They look great. I'm sure I've seen the center piece painted with the reverse lights still exposed somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 18July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 18July, 2014 Any pics of yours? Are you thinking of the Ruf ones? I'm not really a fan http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads13/L10406591216053167.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 18July, 2014 Report Share Posted 18July, 2014 I might be thinking of the ruf piece but I'm sure I've seen it with the reverse lights with the reddish stock tint. I'll be posting something up about my lights soon. I decided they were not as glossy as I would like. Just wet sanded and gave it a few more clear coats. Once they back on the car I'll make a post.
