Valves have arrived from Pelican parts as Porsche were NLA.

Exhaust valves have a flat base. Not sure if they are sodium filled....

Inlet have a dome base.

Arrived in under 7 days and landed cost about $750.

Weber IDAs being rebuilt
Original cams reground to "E" profile because of prior profile? So DC 30 Cams being considered - otherwise DC40
Tried to source Porsche Gaskets but NLA so Victor Reinz ordered - which some say was an oem before merger?

Wow!!! Amazing Mario. Looking so good.
Did they dyno it for you? Curious to know what hp and torque your getting.
Is it warrantied?

That is so much like my old car Mario. I could be looking at many of the same images, even the seats I think. What jets did they go with on the carbs and did they use LN Nickies on the barrels?

Your right Merv, I thought Mario had stolen my/your car........but then there is the one major difference currently it seems

[mario lanza]

Not dyno still running in 4500 limit.
Genuine torque in midrange.
Warranty - in part I assume at least- because 1st Set of OEM rockers failed and Porsche AG picked up tab for complete dismantle and reassembly.
Mahle Motorsport pistons and barrels.

Turbine smooth.

Suspension tweaks with new rear stabiliser and those rubber torsion things which go out of round and the car is so compliant and silent. Amazing. I am removing all nolathane from 75Carrera.

Will get jetting specs.

Fantastic Mario,

For obvious reasons I am following with great interest...... cant wait for run in to be completed and a run on the dyno.

I think the smoothness and torque is coming from the modern cams.

"Turbine smooth and genuine torque" .... oh man I am hooked and will begin funding for a rebuild - anyone after a 70's vintage surfboard collection by any chance ?!?!
