I never intended posting on this thread but that is the best advice probably ;) Find a Turbo with a missing powertrain and install a 3.2 Carrera. As regards driving on the track, if you have never done it you will be amazed at what there is to learn-If you have done it, you already know. The advice is all well intended I am sure. |

Henry @ Supertec made a batch of 5. I got one of them. Beautiful pieces. I don't think they will be made again in this economy.
I think making these cranks is less expensive than finding a nice real 956 crank or a NOS 956 crank, though out of any engine, a 2.8SS is certainly in nose-bleed territory. PS.: If there were 5 people that want to contact me and/or Henry Schmidt to pre-order/reserve a "SuperCrank" 9-bolt billet 66mm crank, I am sure we could make another run. I could use one more, but not 5...;) |
This motor is built on a 3.2 -- recall it on Jeff Alton's car).
Induction is very nice.....and seldom do you hear of DC44 cam selection : 3.4L based on a 3.2 (case, crank, rods, and heads) 10.5:1 compression (measured) DC44 cams on 108 lobe centers Balanced rods and pistons Twin plugged Microtech ECU and ignition box 6 dual tower MSD coils Race valve spring and Ti retainers Jenvey 48mm ITB's with blended manifolds and custom linkage Big Setrab front mount oil cooler B&B headers with heat http://i27.tinypic.com/300big1.jpg ______________ '82 911- sold '77 Spitfire |

Here is a short cut that will get you driving your dream car this weekend!:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/498147-fs-911-sc-iroc-look-street-track-car.html No connection etc.... And then I can buy your 73T.... |
I'm sorry. As amazing a car that is, and for such an amzing price, this is a project that I really want to do with this car.

I understand where you are coming from. But. I am 61 and in the past 35 years I have restored or overseen the restoration of a lot of cars. It is very rare for a restored car to come up to the owners expectations-that is human nature. If you got the car above you could make the engine your project--slide throttle injection etc-but in the meantime you have a car to drive.
My preferred alternative is an early Turbo missing it's power train as I mentioned earlier. You say that money is not a concern right now, but it will be when you finally come to sell this car and a re-engined Turbo is going to be worth a lot more money for reasons of 'intrinsic value'. Just my 2c worth.:) ps and you could sell me the 73T--oh, did I already say that? |
Lol. Not for sale. Thanks anyways. :)
|
It's good to start young on these projects.
I've seen several 356 restorations where they owner died before the shop finished his car... |
