66 short wheel base Racer???

[RonD922]

Hello,

I currently have a 66 911 that I was going to junk because I was just taking the engine and suspension for my 914, but I have had a change a heart and even though I have never had a "911 Experience" I can not bring myself to junk her so... I was wondering if I could:

1. make it into a long wheel base car ( I ahve heard of people shortening wheelbase for 911R reps.)?

2. Where to reinforce chasis for spirited driving with a 260Hp powerplant?

3. how to get better weight distribution because I am replacing the bumpers and QTR panels with RSR fiberglass and the germans out weights in the front bumper to even her out, so any recommendations??

4. What classes would I fall into with a 66 RSR with 2.7 260hp engine and suspesion, brake and chasis mods.??

Thanks For Input,
Ron Dailey

I would like autocross and someday try my hand at Drivers Ed. and wheel to wheel.

Thnaks Again,

260hp! That will surely be a rocket! Heh, I would leave it SWB and have fun.

Look in the current Excellence for the article on the 911R. Better power to weight than the 996 turbo.

Remember, Lighter=Faster.
