Default NEED A CONNECTING ROD

Does anyone have a connecting rod for a 964/993. I am using it for a project and not in an engine so quality (for putting in an engine) really isn't important. I would like it to be straight and complete. If anyone has one let me know I would be glad to purchase it. PM me and thank you.

How soon? I've got the rod knockin' engine coming out of the yellow car soon, but I'm not sure how quickly I'll bust it apart.

Just depends on motivation, and if I'm going to use these heads to recondition and put on the RS America. $$$$ not exactly flowing right now for the miscellaneous car projects.

Not to mention that there really aren't many 996 engines in the hands of the DIY crowd.

(Off to simplistic non-Variocam air cooled cam timing!)

"Let me guess, you're single :-) "

I almost was that day

She was out for the day and I had a crew help move it in(13foot 2,000pounds)

She walked right past it and didn't notice it. Had to bring her back to the room it was in and she sat on the floor crying.

Last week I mentioned selling it to fund a P-car project. She said no way, it is not replaceable.
She now loves it, it is a modern knight statue.

What type of sculpture do you plan for the rod?
