Cool build!!

longbed67 · 02-08-2012, 06:45 PM

Thanks Joe! It will be cooler when I get my block and head back hopefully next week so I can start getting that back together! It was supposed to be done almost two weeks ago which was the deadline I gave them when I dropped it off!

longbed67 · 02-13-2012, 07:06 PM

Well I got back from the Chicago auto show and well I fell in love with this color the moment i seen it. It is an upgrade color option for the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S. The pic really doesn't do justice for how much depth and pop the color has. On top of it the cost is the same price as the other paint I was looking at which is $680 per gallon. All copyright goes to Porsche on this photo just want to give them credit for it.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 02-13-2012, 09:19 PM

Good choice in color..

longbed67 · 02-22-2012, 09:18 PM

Well I just got the the bell housing back from the machine shop got it welded up cause the starter tab had broke off. I also dropped off my turbo manifold to have it counter bored and to have the center divider milled out of it. I will get that back tomorrow. Everything is on schedule to pick up my rear end and head and camshaft this sat. from Tom Lowe. I had him set the rear up with an eaton posi. And he did all the porting and head work for me. I was told that I will have the engine back in my hands next week! Which means I can get going on the final assembly and paint on the engine!!!!

longbed67 · 02-24-2012, 12:28 AM

Well I ended up braving the snow and ice storm tonight and made the normally 2 hour trip one way to Tom's place in Dysart and picked up my rear. He rebuilt the posi with new gears kevlar composite clutches, 400lb springs, 10ga sideplates and I ended up putting in 3.07 gears instead of the 2.76. I also picked up the head, it looks great and am really happy with the work he has done. 70 cc chamber 1.94/1.60 valves, and enough spring for .550 lift at 6500rpm. Although I went with the smaller cam for .495 of lift which means more rpm but I think i will cap her off at 6 grand.

**67cheby** · 02-24-2012, 11:44 AM

this is sure a whole lot of talk and not enough pics....just sayin !

longbed67 · 02-24-2012, 12:53 PM

Bright Chevy Orange! I will post a few more pics later of some of the covers. I am going to get working on brakes on the rear end. and get that installed. And post more pics of that later!

longbed67 · 03-01-2012, 10:57 AM

Well everything for the engine comes home today!

Just have to wait for my pushrods to get made before I can assemble, but otherwise she will be seeing some paint this weekend! Hopefully I can get the trans painted up too!

longbed67 · 03-02-2012, 11:16 AM

Got up at 4 this morning to start working getting everything organized again.... and took a couple quick shots of the set up

**67cheby** · 03-02-2012, 02:09 PM

Can't wait!

Guess I'll have to wait on the pics to see what color you went with on the bellhousing and transmission!

hgs_notes · 03-03-2012, 10:11 AM

I really like your build, but was wondering if there was any particular reason you went with the 250 rather than doing the same with a 292. Seems like there would be quite a bit more power potential. Is there a difference in the blocks or cranks that make it a weaker choice? Or was it just to use the engine you had?

**67cheby** · 03-03-2012, 11:32 AM

its the morning...just sayin

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-03-2012, 03:54 PM

Sittin here waiting in the pacific northwest..

longbed67 · 03-03-2012, 04:37 PM

Heres the first set

longbed67 · 03-03-2012, 04:39 PM

Heres some more.... I am not sure I am a big fan of this Red HEI I think it looks a little tacky.... I am thinking about painting it.
