I have an interim plan. I'm thinking I'll build a closer-to-stock engine to run until I can afford the rest of the parts for a 2270 or 2316. Then I'll have a spare engine in case the big motor grenades...

Yeah.. good idea. Gets you on the road sooner and lets you shake out the other stuff. I drove down to Portland last year and picked up a complete 2.0l with sideshift trans for $500 with the intention of doing something like you are doing but just can't decide what to do. What does Jake say about those 78mm Foreign MFG'd forged cranks?

Yeah, but he doesn't put them in his kits. I wonder if it has to do with rod choices etc.

Cool Rockers. Are those steel or fiberglass?

They are glass, just like the factory GTs. George says that they are from a mold pulled from a factory M471 car.

Car has been in a storage unit for over 5 years now. I just found a new place that finally looks like I can get back to working on my 914 soon. I'm pretty excited about that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

During the last 5 years, I have managed to acquire a pair of Len Hoffman heads and a pair of raised spindle 911 struts.

Hoping to get Lonely Neuron Brewing up and running again soon as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
