Well...I spent a long time the garage this week and got a fair amount completed. Let me first start out with some "money shots." I cut off the top of the donor type-4 case that I have mounted in the engine bay and installed the 911 11-blade fan like it will be on the real engine. WOW! It fits in there really nice and is going to look awesome. I think I am going to have plenty of room to mount the turbo behind it and an intercooler above it. Check out the pics:

I need to make a few more pieces here and there to repair some other rust spots, but it is getting closer. There is a mightly large hole where the front suspension pan was...

If you going to do it, might as well do it right.

Most likely I will sell these parts as they are kinda price given the fact only 2399 912E's were built.

QUOTE(Gint @ Apr 16 2004, 02:14 PM) Oops. I forgot. Next time add a "sorta OT" or "a tiny bit of 914 content" to the title. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Unless it's a bus motor. Then all bets are off and we kick you out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Nope, I cut up a nice GA case for the turbo conversion. The engine is getting closer...I just got a box from aircooled.net with all new pushrod tubes and seals, and an adjustable pushrod measuring tool. With the parts I had cut by Patrick and the custom copper shims being cut at Jay's Machine shop, I should be able to get the engine closer to completion in the weeks to come.
