Nice! What do you have planned for the engine?

 

Pretty sure a 3.9 conversion.

 

A 997GT3 head vs 996GT3 head... almost identical... very minor port difference.


The major difference is the 997GT3 has twin squirters vs single for the 996.

Ok and here we go deeper into the meat and potatoes.... Splitting the case:



Same crank... and GT3-R oil pump (extra pick up) as on the 997GT3...


Same titanium rods...


Before doing any more work we give the case a good bath...



Looking better...



The case now ready for some work

 

Looks awesome so far - when does the truck leave for NY?


Where's my plate too

 

Heheh yes and yes! I think we're a couple of weeks or so away I hope from at least moving the lift she's on down!

 

Back over to assembly now...

In goes the crank, GT3R oil pump, all new bearings and of course the Ti rods....


The EVOMS head stud kit installed:


There was an short break as we moved over to the new shop and James' new engine room. In go the Sharkwerks big bore pistons/liners:



Coming together... and the block starts to grow:




Now we get to the all-important cam shafts:



Timing the cams (these require different timing blocks from from the 997GT3):



More to follow shortly but we're getting closer...

 

So beautiful!

 

Any updates?

 

Looking forward to the finished project!
