75 911 hotrod

The guy did a noce job building this scheme, but then he caught th ebug and hios plans changed to full on track car most the way through the project long build Not uncommon.
The biggest problem to becoming a good streeter (hotrod) is all the suspension rubber has been removed & the ride will jar you fillings loose an dpull on every crowned road and make one totally unable to talk even to your passenger nor-less on the phone when cruising. The bigger deal: the compression ratio being I recall at 11.5:1, it is not able to run on pump gas even with twin plugs, even if seriously detuned(timing taken out) . Then with that BIG cam the" ign. timing out attempt: will make it even more soggy and asleep up to 4500-5K where one spends all their time driving on the street. Recall it was designed to Rev to 8K so way up their in designed power. These two issues will take some serious hours and dollars to remedy.

No denying the old adage(even moreso for the street or engines asked to last many many hours,) : :"there's no replacement for displacement". A nice 3.5 L up to 3.9 L would be great in there...
