He worked his magic on a brand new set of 044 heads for our porsche salzburg car, he made the cam and also did some work on the manifolds. The engine makes more than 160bhp at 6300rpm with the help of the legendary 46IDA's.

Sounds pretty awesome! You need to start a thread or threads in the project section on these cars 8-)

So last night I was in the garage till 2:30. I got the long block all together though. Tonight I'm going to try to assemble it the rest of the way so we can dyno it before it goes in the car. My manifolds are supposed to be welded and finished today and my muffler is supposed to be done. My 3.0 needle and seat valves for the IDAs should be in too.
As for the car, I think all it needs is the rear brakes bled, tranny filled with oil, and a little clearancing on the rear motor mount. At this point, it is still a possibility I'll make it to the Classic. For sure though I won't make it to Nick's on Friday with it :cry:

I will start a new thread concerning rally beetles.

What sort of power are you going to make???
