My personal 3.0 R&D car. This was a baseline pull up to around 7.5k rpm with safe ignition timing. After more tuning time and different air filters it made power to 8k rpm before I shut it down for safety sake.

Winter will be exhaust changes and DBW.

Man! These are some sanitary builds of all descriptions (except for the one stuffed with pecans or whatever, lol !)

Recently completed 3.2SS EFI with DBW stand-alone ecm and lots of upgrades.

Here’s an updated pic of the 3.6 in my ‘74 since I repainted the fan and shroud and did some other assorted cleanup.

Does that plenum mate up to a standard 3.2? What brand is it?

Hello Michael, Those are 964 intake halves that i smoothed out. Purchased 2-bolt flange adapters/ feet from Adapt Motorsport to fit this spiced-up 1982 3.0.

Patrick , your build is just awesome.. What made you decide on the 964 manifold instead of more traditional ITb's ??

Thanks. Those are kind words. Awesome would be a gross overstatement when compared to so many other builds/ projects here on the Pelican. But thank you.

My rough plan in the beginning was to do some ITB's. I was leaning towards Clewett or PMO as I like the sorta vintage look of their offerings. And I REALLY was thinking about saving my pennies for a Rasant ITB package that included a common plenum after seeing their red narrow body car at Luft7. But they later announced they were going out of business so I moved on. I'm sure the new Rasant offerings are bad ass as well.

But I think that after I first visited Adapt Motorsport website and saw what I could do with a single throttle body using 964 intake halves and their other bundle of products for DBW, crank & cam sensor, etc - I quickly switched gears. For me, having the simplicity of a single DBW EFI throttle body and what could be easier, or smoother, idle / low rpm operation - were two factors that I felt were good for my situation. I am not an EFI expert by any means, but it's working out well so far as I'm into this thing with about 250 miles. Just waiting to do valve adjustment and get it back on the road in the coming weeks when life slows down a little...
