I went to the Winter Park, Florida Concours De Elegance today and saw one of the coolest Porsche cars I have ever seen. It was a 356 "Special" built by Emory Motorsports. It has a 4 cylinder, 911 based motor. Dean Polopolus. Owner of APE, Inc. has engineered a powerful high performance piece of machinery by developing the Polo 4 cylinder 911. The Crank case has been casted and machined and is now in various cars all over the world. Glad I went to this event today....Have you guys ever seen or heard of this motor?

....Included in the "cool factor" are a few points not mentioned.., All of the inherent design advantages such as,..It,s an overhead cam engine, stock with dual valve springs,and large valves,with a "hemi" combustion chamber, valves are opposed ,twin plug would be no problem, more main bearings,set-up for dry sump as oem, Higher sustained RPM,s with more reliability,plentful parts..chains,seals, bearings,piston and cylinders,etc., and all the trick parts, and racing knowledge of the 911 engine would apply....all in all a very great idea. Naturally as a deritave of the 911 engine it costs more than a 914-411 VW engine. Naturally.
