That's cool! It still wouldn't fit under the lid though, so I really don't see the point. Looks neat though
Zach, you must have a good eye when you can see from a picture that this engine can't fit under the lid! Wow.
Guess what? It fit's! The engine is going into the red squareback next to it and from the beginning the intension was to have a stroker motor with big enough carbs under the lid. I know the owner, he's working in the R&D department of Porsche and he doesn't do things without a reason.
I stand corrected
I imagine the cylinder shrouds are custom made then? No oil cooler in the stock location... I'd like to see the motor complete and in the car. Even on thier side, those DCOE's take up quite a bit of room.
I was a type 3 guy once, so I have an idea of what fits
Zach, you can follow the buildup of the ruby red Squareback here:
