Yes building a legal 2.4 on the off chance they check. It is pricier to do that way because it requires custom Ps and Cs. Having LN do those. Also having Extreme do the heads. Hope it will work out well.

The car did previously have a 2.7rs-ish motor. The issue with that is of course it is in the same class as the 3ltr RSRs which it just cannot compete with (at least with me driving) and its too big to run in the up to 2.5 class. According to a couple of the groups i run with one cannot build larger than 2399cc. There are quite a few cars in the under 2.5 ltr class as well and looking forward to compete and have fun.

Sierra Madre sells the bursch line. They include silenced and non silenced in a couple different finishes. I had some made that are just the pipes with cookie cutters but wanted something for tracks with noise limits.

Latest update is that i got new steering wheel and as it is dished it was too close to me when harnessed in. So got a shorter hub adapter from rennline and installed today. Much much better and it looks pretty clean now as well.

I shared case pictures before but now have the heads from Extreme Heads in FL to share. These are custom billet heads specifically designed for this engine. Excited to see how they work and certainly hope they live up to the hype. This is the shop that builds the heads for the Singer cars...

Hi Bill, the cyl heads resemble Cusimano "D" port billet heads of the 935 days, some lucky 930 Street guys ran these too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Love this 9146 racer/ restoration!! Good call on the fire suppression Foam...I'm stealing your idea & putting this into the 8-gtt build.

At a test and tune day at CMP in August had a rod come through the case. Bad luck for sure and now starting from scratch. Here is the starting point, a 7R case with all the tricks redone by ollies:

Curious on shuffle pins vs stock. What drive the decision for you?

So the case i sourced out of AASE had already had all the work completed (aside from boattailing which the builder has done) and did NOT include shuffle pinning. There are differing opinions out there but many say on the magnesium cases that you should not pin due to higher risk of cracks developing. Aluminum cases from what i heard should be.

New upgrade will be this comms system for racing. May certainly come in handy especially for longer runs and for knowing when that green flag is flying! Helmet is already wired and has correct plug, mic, and speakers so all i have to do is install in the car.

Yep all good there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

The case was fully worked by ollies. Only thing not done was shuffle pin and that was intentionally due to being mag. If was aluminum then it would have been done as well.
