Figured if it fits the 997, it'd fit the 987! Very interested in how this turns out. I will subscribe on youtube as well!

Do you ever try the K20C1 from FK8? the power is insane all the way to 7k redline! I just feel it is as powerful as my 2.5 718 GTS

N.B. my bad, didn't pay attention that the OP is putting in a K24 from 13 Si.

Crate motor is $7k , that would be a riot in older chassis or 987 after it blows... Reliable 400hp under 10k

Here’s his latest video. Custom low profile valve cover to get it to fit the engine bay.

So far 2 years in the making and it doesn’t run. Trying to fit a skinny tall engine into an engine bay that is low and wide haha. Why???

I wonder with such a low profile valve cover, will that be a problem for the top end lubrication? Thinks like oil drain back and so on.

That power is a straight line. Looks like it will have great drivability.

They make dry sumps for the K24 that may have solved his fitment issues without a custom valve cover.
