Maybe two weeks and she will be home!

 

The design on these are supposedly a similar design to the 993/996 GT1. Different from the "run of the mill" Billet K16's around. I hope you guys approve. This forum has been a bit quiet lately. Not many peopl interested in our oldies but goodies it seems.

 

looks awesome, cant wait to see some pics......congrats

 

Thanks. I will definitely get pics. I am going to be taking a week off from running these machines to be involved in the build. I need the time off anyway. What better reason than the assembly of my motor?

 

Cool! Are you using GT2 EVO cams, as well?

 

nice build !

 

Yeah evo cams as well. This was the final pieces. Pistons, cams, and jugs weren't on this invoice.

 

Mahle P/C's?

 

Todds recipe. I'm sure they are.

 

I chose to stay 3.6, Todd seems to think we are still going to get a monster out of it. He specifically said... "I shot for 600 whp. That's what we will get"

 

Very nice, that car will be alot of fun.

 

I hope its fun. I cannot stress how bipolar the wait process has been. Which was not fun. I am packing up a bag of my tools and heading to motorwerks on Monday to see how much of a helping hand I can be personally. I built this car in memory of my father, who recently passed away from leukemia. 993 was his favorite car. He had several 993 cars including a red 97 TTS. I found the exact car he owned in Colorado. They wouldn't sell. So I did what I always tried to talk him into... Build a monster, but he was a purist. I remember calling Todd K. When I was 11-12 years old. Asking about prices and what could be done. Printing it out and tryin to convince my dad to have it done. He never would. So for the purist factor I have a bonestock red 996 with super low mileage. Then this car which is strictly a dream come true for my family.

 

Nice post Chris. Looking foward to reading more.

 

Thanks buddy. I appreciate that. I also look forward to posting pictures of whatever, and whenever, as it goes the next week or so.

 

wow chris ... nice build. don't get in akrams way, let him do his thing. between him and todd you're going to love how your car turns out ...
