Is that a pcar? Why did they pick that image?

Because the 911 is an icon.

Good thing they didn't show where the true gas fill is, huh?

Folks wouldn't know WHAT to do.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1257735477.jpg

Cystic Fibrosis...

That's what Early S Man (Warren Hall) died from...

Good cause.

In the 13 years that this group has been active, it has raised over a Million dollars, and in the 5 years that I have been involved, the medications have gone from only helping symptoms to actually helping the disease, and I'm told that in 3 to 5 years may even cure it.... Sorry that it is too late to help Warren, but I'm sure he would want everyone to keep fighting..

So was the 917 a DOCH? The cutaway seems to show two camshafts, but the bottom shot looks more like a 911 chain setup?

If yes, funny they never went into production with a DOHC 911.

Another question - sorry. Why was slide valve better than butterfly?

That's not a true 917 cutaway, a 917 had a gear based setup

the bottom pic you refer to, that looks like somebody trying to figure out how to make a 917 like engine with efi
Not a good setup if you ask me , them camshafts are very long to be driven from one end only.

There's nothing in the intake @ wot with a slide valve
butterflies always have the throttle valve in there

That motor was designed by someone with a dream to some day put it into a 917 replica. Not sure if it will ever be built. Found the pics on GT40s.com

Yes. The heads on those things are HUGE.

ahtuahly they were pretty much the same size as on any old 911 head, just twice as much of em

the camhousings however, now that's a different story:
