Just thought I'd update the World...

We are building a 2056 out of the original 2.0 engine. My stock cylinders had some minor pitting, which was enough to convince me to go to 96mms. The Ps & Cs are coming from European Motorworks - George also rebuilt the heads & rods (and balanced), and provided his G camshaft and a few other valvetrain goodies.

In the meantime, I hauled my gearbox up to Dr Evil's lair a few weeks ago and we rebuilt it in his garage. Also shipped my speedometer to North Hollywood for a rebuild, so I'll have a functional odometer to track the miles I'll be putting on the new engine.

"Excited" is extreme understatement. I can't wait to get back to driving. This will really be my first experience with a 914 making good power and shifting the way it should.

The only downside is that there are only a couple weeks left til the school year starts... which means dropping my kids off in the morning... which means no driving the 914 to work. I'll be making the most of weekends!
