Hi, I can see that we, owners of GT40, also love 917 !! I was looking to buy one from Kraftwerkz when they decided to stop exporting it. I only have the DVD ! Regarding the engine, why do you need a 12 cylinders ? To be close to the original ? But you'll never be. It will be a replica and I suppose that you are not going to drive it at 200mph on the highways. So a good reliable Porsche 6 cylinders will be perfect if you have the flat fan like the Kraftwerkz has...And you will get the real Porsche sound (who remembers the real 12 sound ?). I will be happy to see pics of the RCR car in progress and will love to buy one , one day, to complete my collection...(Gulf GTD40 and 64 Sebring 289 ERA FIA).
