Well I got started today, everything is disconnected from the engine and it is ready to be pulled out.
The one downside of pulling the engine at the shop, too many interuptions. Everyone want's to know what I am doing to the car. nosey people I tell ya! When the engine is out I am going to degrease the entire engine bay and under carraige in the front and get it nice and clean for you.

all new crank/speed/refference sensors needed*ouch*
among other things. Just talked with gabe motor should be in the car in the next two hours. Also some confusing with vitesse on my part. They thought I already had a 3bar fpr and I didn't. So we had to do a last minute transaction on that one.
chip board and remaining fuel/oil/hoese/ect that are needed are going on the car tomorrow and then it should be fired up. I'm equally nervous and excited.
I've already bought a plane ticket to come and get her this sunday. Should make for a interesting drive back(about 1100 miles). Turbo and motor will be fully broke in before I ever even get home with it. muahaha.

PLEAZE drive her around for an hour before you head out. Almost always. - always, something will work it's way loose.
Bring extra fuses, fluids and a decent tool kit. AAA card preferred.
Not that the work is bad. just that unforseeable things happen.
Long trips arent the time for those.

Well damn you budget! Damn you to hell. I really want to finish my track car but, it looks like all of that will have to be put on hold.
I had the head pulled and there was enough cylinder scoring to warrent pulling the old motor AND.....if im going to do that might as well make a few upgrades while you are in there kind of thing. After all i'm still running that little 26 turbo and old outdated software.
I initially put in a budget of 5k total for everything. Parts labor ect. I wasn't intending on doing anything to the motor except make some repairs and change out belts/hoses/ect. That went to hell in a handbasket quick.
I found a motor a fellow lister was willing to part with that had already been assembled. Nothing fancy just a basic 2.5ltr with knife edged crank shaft/web cam and a few other misc. goodies. Lindsey stage 2 head is also going on the motor.
I decided to bite a huge bullet and put a deposit on a vitesse racing turbo kit with injectors. Only problem is that "was" my entire motor budet. So now im selling all my old crap to help pay for the mother of all turbo kits...A vitesse stage 2 with new software. Look for a for sale thread to come up shortly with all shorts of crap thats coming off of the car as well as old parts that i've never fooled with selling. Two sets of wheels going as well.
This thread will catalog this several month journey we are about to undertake. The gentlemen doing the motor swap and build will chime in here shortly. I've been corresponding with him for over a month now. He has 13 years porsche mechanical expeirence and has worked for several race teams. Im fully confident in his skills(I hope so i've already sent the check). He will be repairing many other things wrong with the car while the motor is out.
Like the fact my firewall has never full recovered from that wall impact several years ago at the track. I'm sure we will run into many gremlins along the way since the car has been sitting since dinosaurs roamed the earth but, we will manage.
I'm a footage ***** you all know that so expect many pictures and video to be up about this thing. Gabe will be taking pics of everything that he is doing and sending them to me. I'll be uploading them as we progress. When the car finally is back expect more vids from me. It'll be nice to see her out there roaming around again.
Trailer came and picked her up today.
Gabe... feel free to chime in here buddy. I'm sure your going to be flooded with questions I simply can't answer.
Oh btw there will be some brand new interesting things that I will have the honor of being the first customer on. I'm looking forward to strapping her to the dyno and taking her to the track for you guys. You know I plan on running the crap outta it, I don't know any other way to be.
close.....
sitting on the trailer
some pics of the motor gabe has sent me.
When she actually gets back imma stick these on her.
Still need many parts... will be buying as we go along. Will update when we can. Wish me luck lord knows i'll need it. Poor gabe had no idea what he signed himself up for. muahahah
