Update:

So my 2.7 case is back from the machine shop. Pinned, line bored, bypass, and a few other original issues. I have purchased a new set of pistons and cylinders. I went with a RS style flat top to gain a bit of room (valves) so I'll have a better cam selection available. New PMO carbs. I had the heads worked done locally and sent the guy my intake to see if he could match them up to my heads. Things are moving along...... slowly.

Thanks for the "tip"
I have the same Dansk twin exhaust on my 911 and is a bit reluctant to shorten it as the sound is so good as is.
Any comment ?
Jack

Jack,

While the old motor sounded great on this exhaust, I expect a much better sound from the 2.7 RS motor I am building.
Looking forward to that in the next couple months as this motor goes back together.

I haven't posted in a few months. You really need patience while working thru a complete rebuild and upgraded classic Porsche engine. The case went out, so did the heads, crank, carbs and a few other Items. You have to clean, organize and wait. Well after thousands and thousands of dollars spent the case in now sealed. A fully balance crank and rods with an upgraded oil pump and new bearings plus a case upgrade and coating. This should be wicked.
