3.6 COnversion . . . It's Running!
Finally have the motor in and running. I tried the cat with no muffler but it sounds like a drag boat . . . I mean really loud! So it's off to the muffler shop tomorrow to have my Sport Muffler fabed to fit the 993 headers. I am also going to try a couple more chips since the RUF chip causes the motor to die with the lightened flywheel. I have driven the car yet, as there are a few adjustments to work out first, but it just sounds powerful.
Al Reed did a great job on the powder coating. Fan, and valve covers in gold, engine tin in satin black. THe gold looks a little yellow in the pic but it is more 24 ct, representative of the cost of this project. Al also polished and powdercoated the fan housing after I told him to do whatever he wanted. It is really a piece of art.

that looks wicked. i am inspired. good luck on dampning the trottle return, i think i read in excellence that the ac on / idle circuit is used to cure the problem of the fast return/stalling.

Great job Paul! Any danger with running that cat or your sport muffler and melting/burning the fiberglass bumper ? Don't cats run hotter than a regular muffler or is that not true?

Paul,
you are the man. On the chip issue make sure the mirco-switch for idle engages when you lift off the accelerator. It's located at the throttle body and can be adjusted by a set-screw. Ingo
