Gordon Ledbetter
just finished the article in Panorama about Dario Franchitti's '73 911E, and the fellow that did the motor work was named Gordon Ledbetter in Oregon. Does anyone have any contact info for him or his shop?
Thanks
Marc

Marc-- Portland-area RLers Carefree & RS 197 have both posted about Gordon. Might want to contact them if you don't hear from anyone else.
Per a 2002 post on Pelican Parts Forum, when asked for a good shop in near Salem, OR, this was the response:
Gordon Ledbetter 503-645-1199
Good luck! What's the project?

my motor has 161k on it, and have been considering my options. I'm not going 3.8 or super charged, but I like what they did with Dario's car, so I'd like to have a conversation with him. I'd like getting up to 325hp on the 3.6 motor w/o crazy mods.
thanks for the info

Gordon isn't building motors any longer and considers himself "semi-retired". I think his current restoration project will be the last one he does for anyone.

Its not the magnesium-manifold, factory M64/20 motor, but its a VERY healthy and carefully built 3.8RS spec engine that made better than average power.

Marc,
if you insist on hiring someone from the Pacific Northwest to do the job you're planning, I suppose Steve Weiner will get some recommendations, here.
But your profile says you're in Florida. There's got to be someone closer to you who should be able to do this for you.
