I saw you posted a picture of the 3.0L engine almost ready for the test stand.

Need post of your project progress

@Superhawk996-
Phil, from an actual conversion perspective, there is no progress!!...
I did create a thread for the six cylinder build over on the Pelican engine rebuild forum:

https://forums.pelicanparts.com/911-engine-rebuilding-forum/1089756-erics-budget-3-0l-build.html

It made more sense to me to put it over there. I also started a thread here for the conversion back when I started the whole process.

It's been dormant ever since, but I'll resurrect it once the motor is on the start cart.
I'm restoring the shroud at the moment, and waiting for an engine harness. Pretty close to having a completed motor, so I've dragged out the oil tank and a few other bits in order to get the start cart completed. I'd love to have the motor running, and shift my focus to the conversion by summer. I've got a lot of stuff going on though...
We'll see.

I just read recently that you've moved to... Utah was it? Pity. I was looking forward to driving this thing over if it's ever completed. And hoped I could offer the start cart to you.

Awesome post over on the bird for the engine. I don’t follow that site much so had totally missed your engine progress. Thanks for the link to it!

Thank you, sir!

I just hope the bloody thing runs...
