Updates:
2-Valve
Engine completed first round of dyno testing – 450 HP and 452 Nm Torque on street gasoline and with a catalytic converter (expect a few more HP from final 2-valve engine).
Next Steps (already begun):
1. Evaluation of Engine after initial dynoing.
2. Determination of parts (existing, new and/or modified) to be used for Endurance Dyno Runs.
3. Sourcing of modified and new parts.
4. Tooling for Cylinder Head Gaskets
5. Development and construction of Prototype Induction System for 2-valve.
6. Development and construction of Prototype Fuel Supply System including Throttle Actuator including Retainer.
7. Development and construction of Electronic-gas Adjuster and Retainer.
8. Development and construction of Exhaust System and Catalytic Converter.
9. Development and construction of new Test Bench and Engine Wiring Harnesses.
10. Development of new Bosch Ms 6.2 ECU and upgrades.
11. Development and construction of Prototype Oil Tank.
12. Endurance Dyno Testing.
Assuming success:
1. Production of throttle bodies in a lighter weight material, gold plated to keep cooler.
2. Production of stacks in carbon fiber, gold plated to keep cooler.
3. Production of new oil tank in carbon fiber.
4. Production of air box, gold plated to keep cooler.
4-Valve
Engineers in three countries working.
Engine will be 4-cam
Engine expected to produce in excess of 500 HP.
2-Valve

Sorry I may have somehow been confused with the Materials Singer uses for their car's Exterior Structure.
But like the next GT3s and crossing my finger's that PAG will subdue their customers by offering a six speed in it, I can't wait for the Linton 911 to hit the market!
Question, if you ever did offer a complete build would you move forward with a modified exterior and interior or just a simple restore on a 964 and 993 if consumers wanted it. A point I can't evade is an AWD 993 4C model turning that four cam engine and and the wheels.
Looks like you and your team have a good deal of work ahead for the meantime and I hope all the development goes as smoothly as possible. Break a Leg or two as they say in show business.

There is no Linton 911 nor was there ever any plan to create such a car. And, yes, to corectly develop an engine is a long and detailed process and certainly not without bumps in the road that good engineers must overcome.

Last week, there was a multiday meeting of engineers involved in the 2- and 4-valve engines.
As to the 2-valve motor:
1. After quite a few hours of dyno running, it was taken apart and showed no wear of any significant type which, frankly, pleasantly surprised all.
2. We have designed a way to supply this engine with or without A/C.
3. Engineers believe they have a way to obtain a bit more than he current 450 HP -- with street gas and with a catalytic converter.
4. Work has begun on Bosch MS 6.4 as the ECU.
5. In short order, we will begin another series of dyno runs with this including endurance runs.
6. During the next runs, we will compare Porsche standard and Turbo fans with a new fan design.
Re the 4-valve:
1. More progress in design.
2. Have established 21 steps that must be completed.
3. Again, Bosch MS 6.4 being integrated.
4. More sophisticated testing being instituted.
5. Though one can never be sure, target HP is 500+.

Racer
your goal is for this to fit into which model-series of 911?
