Back to the engine, spent some time with my carrera and got that car sorted out. No charge story. it has taken me 18 months from I installed the new RS engine and finally I can see the light in the end of the tunnel and not just the charge lamp. (I did also reposition the fuel pump from rear to front and finishing both bumpers, .. there has of course also been two times five month winters since engine got in)

The 68 R clone, this engine will not be maxed out, I hope to get some 175-180HP and the car will not do much track racing but hopefully longer events.
I hope to drive the 911 or a 57 356 "GT" in 2012 Monte Historic.

If I find some spare time end of week I will start tearing down the engine and see what cams and heads in there. The cam housing was from 69, the heads look to be from 73 and the cast irons.. who would know.

I am now leaning on installing new cylinders, the cast irons must retire. There are a few options available and I like the nickies, any recommendations apart from LN's nickies?
