Default Ever wonder what Big Dave looks like?

After Beer night concluded, we caravaned over to Big Dave's garage.

Took the traditional "Engine Bay" Picture.

When we finally run out of replacement 928 engines we can always stuff BIG Dave under the hood!!

I would like to know what his displacment is and I think we should start dyno testing immediately so we can verify his output ;-)

GREAT PHOTO!!

My eyes! Ohh.... My eyes!

Actually, add some facial hair and it's like looking in a mirror. I think I even have the same sweater.

And, in any case, us "Daves" with black 928s should stick together.

Someone attach a jumper cable to Dave and see if he spins. Remeber, positive lead to the right ear and negative to the left ear. First check to see if the main cell (belly) is filled to capacity with the proper fluid (beer). After jumping check for leaks.

Definitely... Some people may like to make fun of us(Heinrich in the X thread) but it's good to be a Dave with a black shark!

Great pix, Dave.... Now that the worst of it is over, you can finish bolting your butt to the TT and put the hood back on.

That depends... If the retrofit is water-cooled, that could be a problem. If air-cooled, lose the radiator. If beer-cooled, remove the radiator and fit a cooler in there.
