Frank, this looks a great build...
...but I'm concerned about the noise...I'm worried it'll be too loud, and it'll turn Black Betty into something you can't use as often...

UPDATE 2
* Powder coating - Guards cam covers & fan. Black fan housing. Silver fan surround.
* Engine tinware - All the trays etc are in great condition, which is a big surprise. Nice cost dodge there.
* Machining - Cylinder heads are being worked on, ports detailed with Nick's special techniques. Case has been gas flowed and detailed.
* Crank is being balanced.
* 4 Engines have left his shop leaving room for mine up in the assembly room - assembly should begin next week.
I'm being sent photos soon - so will post those asap.

Seriously, great progress...told you Nick was sound!
Look forward to a catchup chat mate....been a lot of progress on my build, which after >6wks of not updating the thread, I finally got around to today.

Update 3
* Could have chosen more aggressive cams and uprated rockers but this would effect drivability & blown the budget.
* Compression - 11.5.
* Pistons & Cylinders are 3.8 993RS Mahle items - have arrived.
* ARP Head studs & through bolts have arrived. Machining required for new case bolts to fit.
* Heads will have bigger valves in the end, exhaust ports being reworked. Aiming for similar spec as 993RS heads.
* Case has been boat tailed - increase flow.
* Wiring loom being made up.
* Crank has been polished and balanced.
* Also I made a mistake re Nick's HP estimate - so won't make any claims until the dyno results come out...
* Received some pics of the disassembly...
Sounds great - I'll check your thread soon!
