On a 964 but def a good watch:

Yep, how it's done. Lot of money spent there. (Or, wondering how much was comp'd.)

Intrigued by the finding of a broken stud + ring land.

But I've gotta take exception to "track monster." I put the difference between the 3.8 I've got, and a stock engine, at 1-1.5 sec/lap at Thunderhill.

Nice video, thanks for sharing!

Nicely done. Beautiful shop area.

Very nine! I'd like to have one of those engines! I wonder how much $?

Retail? Pushing $30K. But given all the product placement....... (That's what I was commenting on in my first post.)

Really love if there were something a bit more than the superficial on the thing. We know what a 3.8 is/isn't. Coupled with the failures present and soon-to-be, what exactly was replaced--studs, rods (or fasteners), oil pump, crank, head work, etc etc etc.--your front line shop isn't going to cut corners.

Jealous, would be nice to have an open chk book and buy everything you'd want to put into it. Neat stuff.

What I've got in the Steve built engine is light years beyond what's disclosed in this one (Mahle P/C, GT3 pump, rods, RS intake valves, and more). Minus the frou-frou, I suppose. Am I glad it came with the package of a seemingly unwanted car? Yes. But anyone who paid a car's worth of money for 40HP, and a corresponding increase in torque, would be supremely disappointed.

Unless you were building for a race class where money is on the line. And from what I saw at Sears over the weekend in World Challenge, there can't be a more upside-down proposition in racing than bang for the buck in 2nd/3rd tier pro road racing......

but why didn't they spend 10 mins shining up the transmission??

Really, the transmission looked bad.

Great video, definitely skipped a few steps that may of been interesting - like joining the case halves...

Maybe Ken will chime in here - I have seen builds both with the heads/cam carrier pre-assembled and then installed, or the heads installed individually and then the cam carrier installed on top - any preferred method? I like doing the heads individually and then worry about the cam carrier, but i suppose if everything is in good shape it may no matter which way (i.e. good if the camshafts rotate with no binding and the heads are flat to each other).... and am always willing to learn. Opinions?

Cheers,

Mike
