Bumpers looking good! (now that is)
I think the color looks great - going to be a great looking and eye catching car when you're done.
Is that a Megan racing catch can you're running? How's the quality and overall impression?

Well I am on it now....Progress includes teardown of my 2.4 ltr doner which was a STEAL!! I found this motor on the bird board and bought it because it was a 2.4 with a 7r case for my # 2 engine . Guy had it sitting in the kitchen of his high $$$ NW DC apt on the 9th floor. it came complete!! with hyd tensioners, SSI's, complete CIS, dizzy with Ign module upgrade, and turbo valve covers and something I just discovered...a neat billit sump plate cover.....I paid $950....I sold the CIS for $275 and the rest will pay for plus profit me I am sure as well as give me a 'T' motor 7R case that will end up with my 2.2 'S' pistons and 'S' cams with 'S' spec ported heads!!!!1 Ha ha ha ha ha...2 engines @ 200+ HP....More power Ru hu hu hugh. (yes I will be looking for a ass dragger after I finish this car)

The short block you see is a 50k mile motor already line bored with case savers and will be a 2.7 with 9.5 to 1 Ross P & C's, GE 40 cams, ported heads, webers and a crank fire ignition. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) You see my bench where I have yellow storage bins full of all my rebuild hardware from PP with typed labels...anal I know!!

You sold the CIS for 250? I would have thought you could have got a lot more for that.

Nice score. I must say I'm kinda jealous. I really want to build a 2.4 into a 2.5 myself.

Well I got the P&C's on...deck height @ .987mm....ouuu its tight but it'll live with the Ross pistons and GE40 cams...while installing I A) forgot while on piston/cylinder #5 that the wrist pins needed 2 spiralloc retainers...(I had a bag of of them and thought there were 6...LOL) @ 5 I realized that there were 12 MINUS 1! that I now wait for from Cali.... AND (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) that one of my cylinders had a wee bit of pitting on the sealing surface that I needed to swap out...THANK THE LORD I had a spare set from one of my spare motors....of the same height group

I will keep ya'll up to date as I progress as this is my first 911 build and I am SURE I will F up a few more times.....Cam timing is going to be a bitch.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I thought less than 1.3mm of deck height is pushing it? You may want to do the valve to piston clearance check just to be sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Ok so I started out with waynes book How to rebuild and modify porsche 911 engines......OKay it was a big help BUT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) with some of the writing....It took me 6- re-reads to understand some of it ( all cam timing issues before it clicked into place....THEN it really clicked. I could do one of these in my sleep.

So the spiralocs came in from Cali, folks over there @ Ross pistons kick ass! They just sent me some @ no charge even though I didnt originally buy the pistons cool shit.

Pics are of the mock up / preassemble showing cam timing and the sprocket depth measurements. I got the tools off Ebay and they were a hell of alot cheaper than the pelican tools (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and the last one is of my purdy baby all set and ready to be sealed up. I have all my valve covers/cam tower covers/fan/fan housing/ intake manifolds/throttle linkage/K&N airfilter tops-bottoms getting powder coated now...it'll be a red and black motife' (sp?)

Who's doing your powder coat work? Local? Always on the lookout for a convenient PC shop in Columbia/Laurel area.
Had work done a couple of places - Powder Coat Finishes in Balto (excellent work but looooong lead time) and East Coast Powder coat (who's website now appears to be gone, not suprised as I going to recommend not using their services), and another place just off Rt.1 and 32 (can't remember the name - good work but $$$).
I know of another guy in Beltsville doing a home business, but haven't had any work done there - yet.

He's about 2weeks out and charged me 200-250 for fan strap, fan, fan housing carbs linkage, V/C's, cam covers, 1 block off plate, aircleaner base/tops and manifold.
I saw some of his work on MC parts very neat and clean.

Just seen your thread for the first time. Wow !!
This is more like a religious cult then a car project.
The word perfectionist doesn't even come close.
