If he's ready during the week yell out and I'll run you down to Pirongia after work one evening.

Sad - but some degree of truth to this.

I did spend some time looking at the kitchen.

I think rear tyres could be the issue there.
A bog standard 3.2 with individual throttle bodies conversion would be my pick.
short stroke 3.0 converted to 3.2 with larger barrels is pretty common build. I believe the original Kermit build by Tuthills for C Harris was a short stroke maxed to 3.4. but pretty big $$ for any custom build as usual.

Delecour in the Tuthill 997 WRC RGT rally car. vid is less than 3mins but so hectic feels like 15mins. car now up for sale fully refreshed and GBP170k with the WRC exe-tc top of the line suspension for soft landings after BIG jumps. big $ compared to 997 cup car, but road complied

Nah - 3.0 and 3.2 cranks are far too big and heavy.

You want the car to zing, so needs to be developed off a 7R case to get the smaller 2.7 crank.

2.7 case, bored out to 2.9 on MFI. (so Graeme's engine basically).

Graham - I saw your car at Razzo's last week, it is a thing of beauty. you need to take me for a spin one day please . I think your car is basically my dream Porsche.

Macca - you should sell the GT3 now while their values are huge and use the profit to fund a super sexy engine for the 993...........

And RS comfort spec the looks (I know, you will have to sell your soul and put a rear spoiler on it)...............
