Your engine build has been a great inspiration to me, glad its put a big smile on your face!!

Like all these projects they always take longer than you think. When i started this we got hit with a global pandemic, that strung out all the lead times, some suppliers were very optimistic in their delivery, some quality issues on parts that had to be reworked… the lead engine builder got very sick (he’s back and fully recovered now!), we bought a new house, gut interior remodel, moved, etc… so stuff just gets in way. You know, custom cars, custom problems.
We’re finally in the new place, garage not quite finished but I’ve got room for my 3 sports cars now and get them all back here so I can enjoy them. My 964 and 997RS are NOT happy with me for leaving them parked the last 9mo…. !!!!
Good news is socal, all year is driving season! :-) !!!!!
Oh we sorted out what we’re doing to do on the muffler… i have an M&K sport. its sounds frigggen good on power, it drones like crazy around town. I put the SSI stainless muffler on, and it is good, but a little too quiet. So I’m going with the SSI that PMS modifies and puts dual outputs on it, will try that and see if it’s a happy middle ground. That will be here Tuesday. Will get car on dyno next week and wrap it up.
Now, if anyone has a lead on some 7R wheels, i need a little more rubber out back!
