Scruffy 3.6 Swap - The Wrap-Up Thread
you want pics, I have pics!
I just want to promise that each of these bugs lives were ended quickly and painlessly      I added a 3.6 emblem  to go with this 3.6

Tyson does great work, doesn't he?
Still in love with that beastie after all those miles?

James,
Looks great! Any chance for a photo of the muffler and pipes? Believe Tyson made a second port that can be open or closed and wondered how he worked it out. JoeA

That is one cool car. It pretty much covers all the bases on what I would like to do to my car. I hope to see it in person someday.

Congratulations, James! I would come help you christen the beast, but you up and moved halfway across the country. I expect a plethora of stories as you enjoy your wonderous new 911.

I averaged about 90-100 most of the time, notice how low the RPM's are. MPG was about 25
 another milestone on a long trip  gas, gas and more gas at 3+ a gallon, but hey after a 3.6 swap it seems cheap!

Wish my stock 2.4 S got 25mpg @ 85-90...hell, wish she'd get 20!
@ 90, 15-18 is about average, but then I'm turning 4300 or so...

I love that last pic...Tyson, a wee bit scruffy himself, hands on hips. Wonder what he's thinking? Perhaps: "How can I get this car back?"
