What are the costs associated with using this technology? Can alex afford it and have his 917 motor authentically reproduced. I remember the owner of a rare hemi cuda describing the feeling of driving a 10 million dollar car as liberating because he knew he couldnt do 10 million dollars damage...

Alex, I admire your thick skin :) Although there are several other reasons leaning me towards the SLC, the engine/hp issue with the 917 is ONE. I'm certainly not a hater for choosing Chevy over Porsche for power. The LS is a lot better supported than a Cayenne turbo and a lot cheaper than a...

C'mon Roberto, you know my motto by now - no V8 no care :laugh: Tic tok tic tok most awesomest (and sacrilegious! hehe) 917 build starting verrrrrry shortly, eheheheheh) :evilgrin:

Some of us can't weld, don't have a mill, lathe, etc.. etc.., so all we can do is jigsaw and drill holes and do the basic stuff (and sure as heck wouldn't want to r&r something like a transaxle ourselves! :O ). I'm at 90k and I havn't even started my build yet.....I guestimate I'll be at 110k...

Five Minutes looking. This was the best prospect and the most expensive of three turbo motors I found. I have no idea how much power it would make with another 15K in parts but I bet its enough for our theoretical 917. The other is a LOT cheaper and there's a whole slew of them on ebay Alex I...

"Clutch on the motor caused a fire that burnt the headgasket. The motor was then stripped down, heads were checked by a machine shop and was fully rebuilt with new porsche parts." :uneasy: I guess I should preface my post by saying if I would want a basically a brand new engine in one, not a...

Another 2000miles? Jeese, don't you ever take a break fomr driving it, lol! Nobody ever listens to poor old Alex =( .... I tell Fran to make a 917 take a big block chevy carb, but does he listen, nooooooooooooooo.

WOW! Alex, I felt very comfortable with my decision to go with the LS376-525HP crate; until I read your post. you forced me to go back and do some more homework. But that's what I love about forums, they are real eye openers! Thanks for the benefit of your experiences. Jim P.S I love...

Oh dear, Here we go again. Alex is not going to be the new home due to new work commitments so the 40 is back on the market for a quick no messing about sale. Full well fitting Mk 1 bodyshell including dashboard on KVA "C" type rolling chassis with steering rack, column, new spax shock...

Neil, Thankyou for asking. No not yet but i only put it back for sale on Sunday after Alex, who had said he wanted it and then because of a change in his work circumstances, changed his mind. It is a good buy for someone on limited funds and i only recently purchased it to turn into a...
