Now is further HP enhanced with Extreme recast heads, coil on plug latest Motec, etc. Too bad about you letting your RUF go. I would have built a motor like this for it as yours already had a G50 as it was a 89 505/ 506. Purists will not agree.

That is quite the beast of a motor voitureltd! You'll need a beefy G-50 turbo trans for that for sure. Wondering what car it goes into, what is the base of the motor. It is so built that it reminds me of a motor I sold 20 years ago that was 900 HP but Nissan. It was a RB26 TT bored and built to 2.7 on an N1 block. 20K to build it then 20 years ago. I bought it (used) and didn't put it in my R34 GT-R back then, just due to market constraints on value (blue book style) and me being such a street rod guy. Instead I sold it to a freind USA side in CA. I built my motor to a 500 HP spec instead. Not the purist way, but for me just the convenient way. Some regrets now that I look back. I hope your project goes well after 3 years of stalling.
Sending a couple analog pix of the Ruf motor back 24 years ago. That car was a VIN 3.2 carerra until Ruf got ahold of it. It would have had a G-50 5 speed before the event. The commando sweater I'm wearing is worn out by now. I used to wear it a lot after I finished my tenure as a US Navy Seal.
