That was April 3rd, this is now. I rode with Mike D. and Don6 up in Mammoth.

I'm sold on the whole program, it just took more time than I anticipated.

I may take you up on the offer though, thanks!!

I'm still on the fence as to whether I should port the heads on this 2.7 from 32mm to 36mm. Doing this will definitely delay engine install. I am waiting on a wiring harness from Perry, and the ignition system is coming next weekend. Only a few more loose ends are keeping me from assembling the transmission to the engine and installing it. Doing the porting will take an additional 4-6 weeks, but a potential HP gain is tempting.

Almost all of the small things that would impede construction and installation have been gathered and accounted for. The devil is in the details.....

You won't ever need that additional HP unless you want to drag race it. How much is enough HP? Your already going to feel a kick in the pants coming from a 4. A weak one at that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) I see 6-7 weeks of valuable driving time kaput. And for what? Someone like Andy with a 3.6 or Clay with his 4.0 is going to blow you off the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Button it up and drive it before you go off the deep end; again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hell, you'll probably be almost as fast as me anyway.

What cams are you using? I think that you will pick up some power over 5K RPM with the bigger ports. However, the small port motor is making lower end power while the big port motor is trying to come up on its cams. While the 5K rush is great fun, you probably will find the small port Motor more fun and easier to drive on the street. Example, why were the 2.4E's so quick? Mild cams and small ports. With mine I gave little away to 2.7 RS's.

With an open enough exhaust, it'll pull to 7300 like an S.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with those guys. You're not making more horsepower, you taking it from the <2500rpm range and reusing it in the >4500rpm range. For a street car I'd absolutely keep the power down low. That's why I love my small turbo setup so much -- lots of power for acceleration.

Not to mention the very very very important fact, that the motor can always come back out. It's harder to get it installed and running, than it would be to pull it back out later. The way I see it, install the motor and drive it, if you're not wiling to pull the motor again to chase after some horsepower then you didn't really want it anyway.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) get it on the road and enjoy. Play with it more later.
There's always some sorting and mods you will want to do after you drive it for a while.

Or you could be like Mueller, forever chasing down the "perfect" motor to put in your 914, and never actually having a motor in your 914...

Most recent comments have nailed it, McMark especially. Get it installed and enjoy for the rest of the summer.

My 2.4S at some point in its life ended up with E cams (due to rusty oil tank judging by the file). I could never understand people's comments about S having little power down low, mine did? When the car was restored and the engine rebuilt the cams were replaced with S

The S rush is fabulous on the right roads and without traffic but those are thin on the ground. Being honest I preferred the car as it was...much more fun for 80% of the road conditions

DC30 grind sounds like a great combo for a 2.7 which naturally has more grunt than the 2.4

You will not be disappointed with the set up you have

I talked to John Dougherty about his cams in the engine, and he recommended the 36mm ports, so here goes nothing....

Already re-ported, or on their way out again?

They are going bye-bye. It's going to take about two weeks to do the porting work, and I do have a few other odds and ends to accomplish in the meantime.

My list is getting much, much shorter. I'm still ordering more parts, as if I haven't had enough Pelican, Patrick, and eBay shit showing up at the front door.

Stay tuned....
