i took a flyer on this very cool car a few months ago, but it just
is too much of a beast for me, and i am moving back to a 993,
after a 5 year hiatus.

this car is also on Pelican board.

this is a 1978 911sc targa converted to a steel turbo look cab
with a hotrod 383 GM V8 and lots of other goodies, both porsche and
GM-friendly, detailed below.
i purchased the car from the builder.
there are receipts for 18k in parts that dont include the donor car,
most of the labor, and other major components.
i believe this build would easily get to 35k to recreate.
i am asking 20k, to cover my purchase, and shipping and
taxes that i paid.

please click on album link to see 50 pics.
i have comments on some of the pics also.
some details from PO/builder are further below.
as you can see this is a well thought out build
with loads of features. can be parted out at a profit too i'd bet.
please PM me with serious inquiry.
cheers , john

THESE NOTES ARE FROM THE BUILDER, WHOM I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM:

Engine

This engine is a very potent street mill, idle has some character but pulls decent vacuum (15-17 in). The solid roller cam really produces big power. Never had is dyno’d, but based on the build and performance I would put it in the mid to upper 400’s Hp. The fuel injection is well tuned, starts and idles great. Runs on 91 octane just fine. The engine has roughly less then 3200 miles on it, as I didn’t finish the car until 2009, and then have had 2 kids since, so it has spent most of the last 2 years in the garage.



Specs:

* 383 .060 over 2 bolt (block is mid 80’s if I remember correctly)
Forged eagle crank and H beam rods
JE forged pistons flat top
* 10.4:1 CR
* Comp Cams 12-771-8 Xtreme Energy Camshaft Mech. Roller 2500-6500rpm Adv. Dur. 280 Int./286 Exh. Valve Lift .570 Int./.576 Exh. Lobe Angle 110 deg
Pro Action heads w/stainless valves and comp K springs
123-4000-20A 2.02-1.6 64cc/220/AP
* Accel DFI fuel injection system. Part number 77143. includes the pro ram intake, 36lb injectors, billet fuel rails and throttle body. This is really one of the better EFI systems out there. Very user friendly interface via USB, upgradeable. All of the sensors are GM so parts are easy to find.
* Innovative motorsports wide band O2 controller – allows for much easier mapping and tuneability
* All Earl’s fittings and braided hoses
* Msd digital 6 plus ignition with 2 stage rev control and start retard
* Cast aluminum valve covers with rubber gaskets
* MSD 10mm plug wires
* Mallory Optical distributor
* Comp roller chain
* Cast aluminum chain cover
* Billet roller rockers
* Comp push rods
* high capacity moroso steel oil pan with baffles
* Fiberglass plug boots
* High volume oil pump
* ARP Fasteners/main studs
* Copper exhaust gaskets
* MSD coil
* Low pressure oil switch and fuel cut off switch
* flowmaster delta 40 mufflers
* 996 twin tip SS exhaust tips
* HPC ceramic coated headers
* Mix of renegade and custom mounting brackets


Driveline

The 930 transmission is solid, shifts great. The brakes are phenomenal

* 86 930 transmission with stock gearing – I replaced the dogs and syncros. this is the heavy duty unit that was used in all of their 700hp factory race cars
* new 930 axles
* 18” BSA type 364 (i believe) wheels, 225 front, 295 rear Kumho ecsta zr rated tires
* new 298mm (12") heavy duty, ventilated, rotors
* 930 master cylinder - this is needed to make sure the brake bias is correct
* 964 brake calipers - same big brakes as on the 944 turbos, 928's
* SS brake lines
* new clutch and Morse throttle cable
* rebuilt pedal asy with all new brass bushings and paint
* new Kennedy stage 2 aluminum pressure plate – stiff, but bullet proof. this is pretty much what everybody uses in high powered porsche turbo applications
* New sachs motorsports Kevlar clutch disc, this is the $500 one
* new throw out bearing


Suspension

Definitely on the stiff side of high performance street, phenomenal grip. Not for the faint of heart.

* Brand new bilstein heavy duty sport shocks
* 22/30 sway-a-way torsion bars - these extra stiff units are required to control the torque of this engine and prevent to much rear end squat under acceleration
* TRG 25mm fully adjustable sway bars
* All new polyurethane bushings at all pivot points - the entire suspension was rebuilt front and rear
* Struts were R&R’ed with new bearings and ball joints


Body

Overall in good condition. Not a concours car, but for sure a really nice daily driver or weekend cruiser. There are some chips about 1-2 inches long on the door edges caused by door contacting the body due to the super stiff suspension and generous engine torque. Also, the driver’s window has a series of scratches from someone operating the window without the felts. Based on a few ripples at one spot on the trunk floor and rear shock support beam, it may have been involved in a fender bender at some point. The car aligned fine and steers straight so is not impacting anything. One of the seats has a 1/2” long tear in the seat. There are the usual small dings and chips in you would expect in a daily driver. All in all its pretty nice, the paint is shiny, the doors shut tight, and there is absolutely no rust, or was there any rust. I would call it a 7/10

* New PPG base/clear paint
* New Leather RS door cards
* New Polk audo separate speakers
* New 556W infinity amp
* panoramic cd head unit w/usb and ipod
* new windshield
* new bosch driving lights
* European H4 headlights
* New silverknit factory style carpet
* Dash is from a 993 porsche
* New Momo suede steering wheel
* Vintage recaro sport seats in black leather
* New leather shift boot
* All gauges and indicator lamps work correctly with the exception of the oil tank level – no oil tank so nothing to read. oil temp is calibrated for water temp. the speedometer is in KPH, the car cam from Canada I believe
* Steel flares on rear
* Genuine steel 930 front fenders
* Genuine 930 tail, rubber is still soft with no crack
* All of the seals except the top rail of the convertible are brand new
* Custom carpet in trunk
* Ruf front spoiler
* OEM Porsche roll bar, pretty rare item
* Stamped steel inner rocker reinforcement plates welded in (see the picture) – this is the stiffest convertible I have come across with the addition of these and the roll cage.
* New convertible boot included
* New optima red battery - just bought it 2 weeks ago
* Momo shift ****
* Rennspeed drilled aluminum floorboards


Cooling System

Full renegade system built by Ron Davis radiators. Works great. Can idle in traffic in the 90’s and never tops 210. sits at 180 when you are moving. Lines from the block, pump, and purge tank are all earl’s SS.


Fuel system

* All earl’s SS plumbing front to back
* -6 supply, -8 return
* 211 LPH capacity pump mounted in stock location
* high capacity filter
* custom aluminum tank that fits in stock location, approx 18 gallons, uses stock filler and fuel gauge sender
