With the help of this forum and 2 1/2 years of work today my GT clone gets her motivation installed. I nervously woke up at 4:30 this morning as I couldn't sleep any longer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . I went out to the garage to give her a look and she's ready (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . To back up a little on a whim I purchased a 1975 rolling chassis in December of 2006 sight unseen. I was able to view pictures but that was it. Turns out it was a good gamble as she turned out to be rust free as it was off the road and in a local garage since 1991. Purchased her for $900.00 with lots of extra parts. My goal was to turn her into a GT clone or since I have learned it really is a M471 clone. I knew I wanted a six and in 2008 I found a 1978 911 3.0 motor in N.C. that I purchased. Induction is 40mm Weber carbs and the ignition is a Jerry Woods massaged OEM distributor fired by a Mallory Hyfire CD box and a MSD Blaster coil. Ceramic coated headers from Brumos and a M&K 2 in 2 out muffler handle the exhaust. I have done all the work myself except for the paint and I'm real proud of the car she looks great. She sports 911 M calipers on all four corners with 20mm vented discs.Suspension has full Elephant Racing makeover with polybronze bushings. She has 19mm adjustable front sway bar and Koni shocks in the rear sporting 140 lb. springs. I'm already on my second cup of coffee (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) as I wait for TC, Brian Cheney and my friend Gene to show up at 9:00 to start the install. It's been a long journey and it's not over yet but today is a big step forward! I'll post some pics once the engine bay is full ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

God thats purty! Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have some billet K&N air filter housings that will look great in that engine bay. I have really tried to sweat the small stuff and I think the car will not only show well but will be competitive at AX + DE. Plus just be a nice driver. Your car also is a very nice piece.
