Also best places to buy parts for this project.
Thanks,

Jerry,
I have a similar project in mind for this spring. I am planning on using the new 102 p/c from Shad Laws, 78.4 mm crank, Web Cam (163?), cylinder heads from probably Headflow Masters (good rep, reasonable prices), Webbs or Dells (undecided), exhaust (undecided not sure if I want to spend the $$$ for a high-end unit). I will probably have FAT do the cases. Ignition probably mallory...Then again I may just have Raby do a turn key for me since I am not in that great of a rush...
This combo should deliver 200 hp, not too far below the stock 3.0 911 motors, atlhough the package should weigh less...primary use would be to "spank" a few knucklehead friends in their non-Porsche vehicles...I like hearing "Type IV VW motor can't do that..."
Not sure if its any cheaper than a 6, I've priced used 3.0l motors at approx. $5,500-6,000
Good Luck,
Bob
