Stuff this in a bug

[jhelgesen]

The motor for the 912-6 is 99% complete, still waiting on SS engine tin screws to show up from Mcmaster.com. Gonna try and have a motor install/cookout in a few weeks. I'll keep everyone informed on the dates.

so what kind of HP do you think you will be seeing? any idea how much the car will weight? can't wait to see it.

[jhelgesen]

I estimate the car to be around 2300 lbs, hope to get it less than that with a little dieting. Engine should be about 200hp with high compression euro pistons and some port and polish work. I may consider making a dynomax dual exhaust setup for the car and free up some bottom end torque, it may give a few hp, then I'll finish up with the the megasquirt EFI systems and get a few more.

John, how much does that weigh compared to a T1 or T4 motor?

Motor install is planned for the 18th. Yetibone said he could come down to help, so he gets a big THANK YOU!!!! Everyone else is invited, but I know it would be a big trek. I'll get some pictures posted after the event.
