Good cause.

In the 13 years that this group has been active, it has raised over a Million dollars, and in the 5 years that I have been involved, the medications have gone from only helping symptoms to actually helping the disease, and I'm told that in 3 to 5 years may even cure it.... Sorry that it is too late to help Warren, but I'm sure he would want everyone to keep fighting..

If yes, funny they never went into production with a DOHC 911.

Another question - sorry. Why was slide valve better than butterfly?

That's not a true 917 cutaway, a 917 had a gear based setup



the bottom pic you refer to, that looks like somebody trying to figure out how to make a 917 like engine with efi
Not a good setup if you ask me , them camshafts are very long to be driven from one end only.

There's nothing in the intake @ wot with a slide valve
butterflies always have the throttle valve in there

That motor was designed by someone with a dream to some day put it into a 917 replica. Not sure if it will ever be built. Found the pics on GT40s.com

all taken a few hours ago with my pathetic iphone. Me the the old dude with the Jack Olsen pose. Local hot rod P-51 I'm trying to snag a ride on. Heard this beast from 8 miles outside of town on a calm night. Second to last pic some cool rich dude checking it out probably going to buy this sweet beast in the next month or so. Some of our local oil barons are chunking their toys.
