I really do not want to be an
.. I did put it in my avatar though, so guilty as charged It's an 85 block that I bought new from 928 INTL.. From what I understand, it was an engine used for Porsche Tech training, so it was never fired. The heads are from my first 928, an '85. They have been completely reworked with new valves, springs, guides etc. and are also port matched and polished. Standard 85-86 Cams. The head gaskets are from the 951.
The bottom end has modified 951 pistons with custom forged rods done by Pauter, resulting in 8:1 Comp. Ratio. The crank has the cross drilling mod, and it also has the GTS oil pan baffle.
The injectors are 30lb Bosch, flow balanced by Marren Racing. http://injector.com/injectorservice.php
A new fuel injection wiring harness, as well as lower engine wiring harness since my old ones were toast.
Everything else is visual. The fuel lines are anodized in gold, and pretty much all new anodized bolts anywhere on the motor have been done also.
I need to still get an intercooler, and will likely convert the whole SC set up to a MURF kit also.
My goal is to get in the car later this year in the fall. I'm still doing a few things to my 86.5 to sort it out proper. Plus I'm having a blast driving it
I really do not have a lot of pics since the motor is stored in a crate and not on a stand... maybe I should get a stand and put it in my living room
I owe all the thanks in the world to Marcus Hutchinson. Had it not been for him, I would not have this motor. It's his design, and he was the first to perfect it to my knowledge.
Also a lot of thanks goes to Mark Anderson and 928 Intl for helping in the process and being a great resource.

Abby,
Holding my breath...
Should be one heck of a ride when completed.
Did I see the recipient sHARk 'THE Body' up for sale a while back?
If so, what fo' ?
From the flicks you had posted she was a unique and IMO great looking end product.
Wishing you much luck with the bambini, my little sweet heart hit the terrible two's and things went all downhill from there. As much as I love her there is growing evidence that she has the Wicked Witch of the West gene.
She is now eyeballing cars (15 1/2) and thinks -it's true- that sHARKs are ...gulp...UGLY!
Where will it all end?
Holding my breath...
