An injector clip came off. Won't happen again. I can only afford to do this once.
At the end it will be 6.4liter

Know it isn't a fun topic so thanks for the response.

That is a lot of additional displacement - she is going to be a beast!

Assuming she will pass visual SMOG, and the increase in size won't trip a sniffer?

There shouldn't be any issue with smog. Nothing is that radical. Just using stock pistons from a 968, plus the cams are mild, just a different grind. Still running thru the stock cat Greg has built similar motors like this. In my head pollution control is important, having grown up in LA and commuting to China for the past 20 years...yep gotta have a cat

Hi, I asked because I am interested in eventually going this way. I'll have to sell a couple of kids and then call Greg.

Kudos for remembering we need to breath!

Thanks, super keen to see how this comes along.

Last time I was there, there 3 guys hovering around the car, working on various bits. Full court press, as they say.

I always wanted a new 928, I just didn't imagine this was the route I would have to take to get one.
