For those that have not followed the continuing saga of "Frank"....it is a 911 2.2 powered Outlaw that was built with the premise of tweaking the shorts of the Q tip crowd......
Last year it showed up with RED 993 wheels and a Type IV (914) motor and custom cooling.....we did burnouts in the lot, drove around and waved at the 356 guys....since it was HOT we duct taped a red an black PORSCHE logo umbrella to the roll bar so as not to get sunburned or to warm our beer....the trans made back home...barely....needed a new Ring and Pinion.....crap.... Since last year....it now has 16x7 and 8 inch Fuchs with 225 and 245 tires and the afore mentioned 2.2/6 with dry sump.......all of which the 356 registry told me was impossible to do. We have done "some" rustoration" and installed a tube frame and tied the rear engine mount into that frame..... See it and weep.....

Mike,
Thx for posting the pics -- I was wondering how the transplant went. (I'm on the road enough these days that I just assume I miss a lot of stuff) I like the polished fuchs against the black -- classic look -- and the Hi^Hystorical license plate is a very nice touch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif). It's definitely cool to show off engineering that "can't be done" -- heh. Enjoy the show!!!! kim. |

Which required moving the torsion tube and welding this and that.....all "I" did was wield a sawzal and a torch....it fits if ya kick it in the ass a bit....plus Frank is ANYTHING but beautiful..... |

Mike,
That is a hysterical vehicle for sure. A lot of work too. I notice you are running the Holley fuel pressure regulator. I am too. I curious to know why you have one side plugged and then you are running a separate distribution block instead of using both sides of the regulator. Is this the easiest way to accomodate your gauge or did you find a difference in fuel pressure between the two outets on the pressure regulator? Have fun at the show. Kelly |

The car is too serious looking...its almost convincing.
It needs a high rear wing, low front air dam and a paint scheme to make it look like a cow (splotches) or a stripe to make it look like an oreo cookie. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

Took it out for a shake down cruise...the 28mm rear torsion bars help a lot. Need to index the passenger side up a bit more. When it was on the rack, I thought the driver side was going to on the high side and the apssenger right on...didn't work that way........ ANywhow, the tube frame and tying it into the rear engine mount was a goood idea.....the roofless rusto body is holding up and the doors still open. I was afraid it was going to fold up on me..... |
