The Six Conversion:
2.7 CIS with 993 cams, 46/40 valves, 911S 8.5:1 CIS Pistons with Nikasil cylinders. Guessing it produces slightly more than stock 2.7S HP and has a much lower, broader TQ curve. Current exhaust is stock 914-6 HE's and one of Ben's SS Quiet mufflers. Been very happy with the exhaust note the past few years, but always wondered if stock would be quieter. Ben's Quiet Muffler ( I did have to reclock the tip as it was more for 1974-up 911): Attached thumbnail(s)

Installed the window today and put the two side pads on to keep pressure on the seal. It was 45 degrees out, so the butyl was very slow to compress. All in all, the window seemed to install pretty much the same as the factory. The 3/64" extra thickness didn't impact the installation. More the cooler temp did.
I'll let it sit like this for a few days, let the seal continue to compress a little. I'll be adding a 3rd brake light, that's why I didn't install the longer targa pad yet. More to come. Attached thumbnail(s)
