An update of our "stuff".

A new early "Magnesium" pre 77 engine project we are in the middle of. We are going backwards it seems.

Project name is Project 24. The displacement is in 2300's cc. Enough to call it 2.4L. It has come about after several customers approached us to build an engine for their early cars that gave them the high RPM feel without spending the high cost of the 4V kit currently offered. We hope to give an engine that will produce acceptable torque, high RPM to make the HP expected and allow them to scratch that RPM itch they have. Not an inexpensive engine though. But hopefully for not much more than the 4V heads we can supply the whole rotating assembly and valve train. I really looking forward to this project as it really does stretch the brain with new tech in an older engine platform. Can it be done, etc. Will it produce the Torque we have calculated? This is the stuff that keeps me motivated.

All the Internals are lightweight, same for the Valve train. A lot of the parts we have developed for the later air cooled engines will carry over. Ti Rods, Ti Through bolts, Pistons, Valves, Springs and Rocker arms. The Rod show is one of our 991/992 GT3 rods with the sculptured beam section and internal oiling up to the pin. The new Rod will have the same sculptured beam with pin oiling but a lot smaller BE bore, BE width and reversed bolts.

Time and money will tell if we have done good.

Also, I have received many calls for the 3.2L 74.40mm Crank on our web site. I sold that years ago and have not had any time to update our outdated web site. That is happening now, finally.

I have added to our inventory two brand new 74.40mm cranks with the std minor upgrades added.
