Philbee Posted 30September, 2016 Report Share Posted 30September, 2016 Well this week I have been busy getting my hands greasy again, and I have started tearing down the engine.Hey Jeff,Just watched the vid - fantastic! Sorry, I may have missed a prev edition but what engine is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 30September, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 30September, 2016 Hey Jeff,Just watched the vid - fantastic! Sorry, I may have missed a prev edition but what engine is it? It is a dirty old 2.7 . It appears to have had a very dodgy rebuild, so it is going to get the full treatment, hopefully with some nice performance bits and pieces.

MFX Posted 1October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 1October, 2016 What sort of engine Displacement and power out put are you aiming for with the rebuild Jeff ...........At this stage I have been in discussions with Performance Developments in LA, and I am looking to stick to a 2.7 at this stage. But we will strengthen the case, open up the valves, and add 9.5:1 pistons, and some more aggressive cams. As for induction, I am not sure on what I am doing as far as that goes at this stage. Basically I am looking at building a nice, strong, reliable engine, that is still streetable. I am hoping for somewhere around 220-230hp, in a nice light 911 should still be fun.

MFX Posted 5October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 5October, 2016 I love black cars too, and they do look awesome when they are kept immaculate, but it is a lot more work. If you paint it black though, don't go with any stupid metallic. The best black is straight solid gloss black, and polished so it is a mirror Philbee and Timm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I would use it enough to warrant the space Although I am incredibly clumsy, so maybe it is worth considering Raven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 14October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 14October, 2016 This week I had big plans to get the dash and the fuel tank painted up, but once I started in on the fuel tank, I realised it was more work than I planned.
