Update!

Cam, push rods and valve springs have been installed. Motor is ready to go into the bay for the final time.
Headers and oil pan are on their way, car will hopefully fire at the end of the week.

Fire is a bad word to use around a 944.

Update! Motor is put together and should be going in the car soon. Pics below! I went with a double roller timing chain while the engine was out too.

Yes, I'm paying a shop to do the work, although I wish I was able to use my credit card! While I could've done the work myself it would've taken me forever to get it completed. Next race season, maybe! I haven't been able to enjoy the car since I bought the damn thing, so it's worth it to me to have it professionally built so I can hopefully start driving it now.

The valve cover paint looks nice. Might have to copy that a little bit...although, i guess you can't see them under the coils...

Those headers look great. Are they modified S&P headers?

No room for LT on the 944 body?

also, any reason you didn't get offroad headers? like without the AIR and EGR ports for emission control?

You can do LT or LS. The headers have to be CARB legal in his state.
