My Vote - Engine 1st

Hey Trak - I've been through a couple of my own 911, 930 and 928 projects as well as helping others with several more rebuilds. Just an opinion but from my experience - you should 1st concentrate on getting your engine sorted out and assembled correctly. There is nothing wrong with used parts but - carefully check ALL the spec's on the piston/cylinders, cams, cylinder heads, crankshaft, engine case, etc... you plan on using. Don't cut corners on any borderline parts while trying to save a few dollars. Your goal is to end up with a reliable and trouble free power plant.

If you don't already own a copy of "How To Rebuild and Modify Porsche 911 Engines" by Wayne Dempsy AND "Porsche 911 Performance Hand Book" by Bruce Anderson - they are full of extremely valuable information.

Good Luck - Michael
