I miss big bird

Delivered her last week at Scargo for the motor swap

She will be gone for approx 2 months. I had the complete motor rebuilt from scratch. Not seeing her in the mornings makes me miss her

and I cant wait to get her back

. Will keep you guys posted on its progress. I had it detuned to a little over 700hp with pump gas for my street use. and a back up brain for 850hp with race gas

And Im keeping my AWD

latest update:

knife-edged crankshafts

that will be truly a monster! Cant imagine driving it with 850HP!!! Wise decision on the AWD, although I think I was reading once upon a time that RUF was deleting the AWD on the 993 over concerns that the AWD drivetrain will not handle all that power?

This is turning out to be one hell of a car!! Way to save it!!

Personally, since you have a turbo AWD or two

, I would have went with the RWD conversion. But, that is just me

they are changing my differentials to handle the power and changing some of my suspension parts to gt2 parts. Since I want to use my car in the streets. I wanted safety first. I have a 996 gt2 with 630 hp and rwd . I figure this would be something different.
