The engine was rebuilt to 2.5l engine. So, kept short stroke with RS Spec P&C.

I think the rebuild job on "The Suicide Blond" was much better:

Crank and Rods replaced with set from 2.4l (longer stroke) upgraded to 2.7l RS spec with S Cams, piston squirters installed in oil gallies, case savers installed. Estimated HP about 210. SS headers (no heat).

Transmission was original 914-6 converted to side shift with all new hardware. Interior (seats, dash, back pad) upgraded to leather. Passenger seat changed to later model movable. Doors swapped to 1973 with improved impact projection and upgraded window regulators.

Repainted in original Canary Yellow.
