Here's a photo I found on the inter-web of a 1968 912 motor. Looks insanely original and makes me bummed that I'll never have anything close to as correct. But it is fun to look at!

[356RS]

Just like Chris said, It's not stock but it's soo much fun.

[tb912]

How well does it handle? is it manageable? the best of both worlds! killer looks and performance.

[356RS]

Handles very well. Rear weight 60.75% and front 39.25%. I moved the engine bay firewall forward 4.5" and had to horse shoe the center of the torsion tube 4.5". 915 5-speed fits great. Car weight with fuel 2004 lb. Engine HP is 238 at flywheel.

Bumpage I like seeing your guys' motors.

Mark:
Your install was/is incredible. Cleaner/better than Porsche managed for sure. Original weight bias was 60/40 at best.
And your power to weight ratio? Dr. P would be proud.

Thanks Chris. Congratulations on the article by Patrick Paternie in the latest edition of Excellence magazine on your fantastic 64 C 930 Turbo Coupe. Your the Man! Way to go Chris.
