My new motor is here!!!!

[Moses]

At long last, a new heart for my SC. This motor is a '97 euro-Varioram. It came out of one of Harald Julichers personal cars (a C4S). Steve Timmins had it in one of his SCs for a month or so and now it lives in California.

I have added a Cyntex chip to avoid idle problems with the Patrick Motorsports lightweight flywheel. A Sachs powerclutch is ready to go in. My 915 tranny has new synchros and new dogs teeth on first and second. All new shifter bushings.

Oil coolers are in. A 20" B&B front cooler plumbed in series with a Widemouth Carrera cooler from Chuck. GT racing RS bumpers are fitted and painted. Al Reed has polished and clearcoated my Fuchs.

It's getting very close now...

What are we talking about, 300 horses? Looks like your going to fly!

Congratulations Moses!!

It seems like these projects take forever. I wish you the best of luck!!

Very nice! I am very jealous. I'm guessing your is the motor that Timmins talks about on his site as a definite improvement over the non-varioram 3.6's if you can afford it!

Have you decided on the exhaust yet?
Are you going to run AC? I notice the braket was not modified.

Hopefully my payment went through today and my motor will be here in short order. Like you I avoided post eninge install problems with the coil cooling problem by running a big front mounted oil cooler in series with the fender mounted unit last weekend.

Yes, I will be running A/C but that's for a later date. Right now I just want to get back on the road. Below are two pathetic sketches of what my exhaust may look like. Random Technologies makes a very high flow racing cat that is only 8" long. Creativity is limited by a VERY restricted space.

The anticipation has got to be killing you.

Honestly Jack, sometimes I can't even sleep at night. I'm as fidgety as my kids are about a week before Christmas.

Very Nice! I'm still a couple weeks away from getting my motor and know what you mean about the week before Christmas.

[makaio]

Moses, you better bring that bad mutha to the track.

[Bill Douglas]

Good score Moses. And the best of luck (and skills) in getting it sorted.

[speeder]

That ought to keep up w/ traffic real good.

[motion]

Jiminy cricket... that is sweeeeeeeeeet.

[Ronbo]

Looks great, but I'm curious about how to get a smog certificate. I see you're going to use cats, but it's still a modified exhaust. Is there an exemption?

Sure looks purdy! Good luck with this install.

It's going to be a damn nice car when everything has been sorted out. Makes me want to do the same

[Bill Verburg]

I almost bought that motor, unfortunately it was too good for my purposes. I am sure that you will have a big S---E----- grin on your face very soon.

Keep us posted on your progress.
