Progress! Motor has been test fit with the headers and bell housing. Headers and bell housing fit great! The oil pan arrived late today, it'll get test fit tomorrow...

Doc, one thing you might want to consider adding at this point is a bellhousing/clutch scattershield. The modern clutch/pressure plate are pretty reliable, but they can fail and sometime with enough energy to come all the way through the floor board.

Not done yet! Headers need to have the smog stuff tacked on, then sent back for final welding and coating. Oil pan doesn't fit, so either need to find one that does, or do a custom cross member.
Everything else is there and ready to bolt in.

if you got some tig / fab skills you can shorten the pickup tube for a tighter fit and no spacer on CM
I have discussed this a number of times on said forum

QT bellhousing with integral scatter shield. Spec aluminum flywheel and clutch, Mocal oil cooler, mild cam, 2.5" dual exhaust, "secret" headers and oil pan.

I'm not sure if this was asked in the pages, but do you plan to keep it NA or turbo/SC it down the road?
Maybe a rear mount TT set up????

I should make plenty of power NA, somewhere around 385-400rwhp. I can't imagine adding FI to this thing, I think I'll have enough trouble keeping the tires planted!
Greg, hopefully get it back in a few weeks!

A race pan is far better than a stock pan and a cut up or home made cross member.
1/2 the stuff you read on porschehybrids should be taken with a grain of salt BTW...
