What a great build, will be fun to watch progress. I wish I had bought one the C4 lightweights when they were still cheap.

Great project, subscribed ,
So what gearbox will you use with the 997 engine to be able to keep it as a C4 ?

This should be an interesting project! C4's are still underappreciated and undervalued for their unique capabilities and its refreshing to see someone build a hotrod 964 with that drivetrain.

Years ago, Andial built a C4 with a 962 engine and it was stunning, to say the least so this should be equally good.

Thanks steve! We will probably go for the 4.0L conversion so it will be full riot mode

...and some good experience and advice.
Steve and Jeff Gamroth built me a lightweight, fast and superb handling 964 C4 based on a 1991 964 C4.
It is the best 911 i have ever driven bar none! ( and i am a PCA Club Racer, DE National instructor etc so i have driven A LOT of 911s).

You will love it! Good luck!

Yeah, you might find it cheaper elsewhere. But I like Toad Hall, they've supported our community with some truly great literature over the years and I don't mind spending a couple of extra bucks with them. It isn't always about the cheapest price.
