I'm thinking that version might even be slightly safer

 

And it's out. It came out mostly without incident, had to fiddle with the leveler quite a bit but once I dialed it in it was easy going from there. I did end up putting the front wheels on ramps because the legs of the picker didn't clear the underside of the suspension with the tires on the ground.



Next to the engine I picked up from Mark that used to belong to BC:

 

There may be some other cheats on that engine for breather and vac. Man did that engine run well. Quicker to rev as I recall.

 

I must have been absent from the board at the time your motor somehow ended up at 928 Intl. What happened to the car???

That was a random 85 I had. Nothing related to my current stable, which is quite diverse.

 

IIRC, there are breather ports on both covers instead of one side.

 

Brendan, I haven't seen you since 2006 or 2007 when I used to live down the road from you. I only remember a black 928 Euro you brought over to my parents' house one day when I still had the black 944. What color was this 85? My Dad's old 85 he had when I was little had a burgundy interior in it too. If the exterior color was a Metallic Gray, and it had a 5 speed, I might just have a heart-attack.

 

It was that exact color combo. I got it in Long beach not running and brought it to life. Fun, light car. No run strips as I recall.

 

Sent you a PM. Fingers crossed it wasn't the car I grew up in.

 

I don't think so.

 

No it wasn't. I am trying to track down my Dad's old car so I can restore it.

Sorry for the thread hijack Zek.

To get back on subject, now is the perfect time to clean that engine compartment now that the motor is out. Think washmits and toothbrushes.
