POLO 4 cylinder 911 engine and 1967 912 almost done

The engine just got pressure fed tensioners.

Oil, Peter Built axles and heater tubes go on next. Then it’s time to bring the car to life for the driving season.

I wish I was there to have you take me for a ride. Impressive build.

Rick,
If you get to the Denver area durning driving season look me up. One of these years I would like to come to one of Jim's cars and coffee. Then head south for some car events in Carmel. If I still have the car we'll do a drive in the car. Then on to Carpinteria. As a kid I spent part of each summer in Pacific Grove with my mom's oldest brother and family. They were good friends with the Motherheads who ran the food stand by the salt water pool in the 50's and 60's. I miss that place at least the way I remember it in that time frame.
Lot's of changes to the car. I hope I got it right.
I was hoping to go to the R Groupe event in Utah. It's not going to happen. My wife booked us for that week in Sedona, Az. Maybe next time if it's offered.

My Orange Bar died. So I thought I’d add some gold. It looks much better on the car. It will do for now. If I can find a perfect vintage Orange Bar for $250 I'd buy it.

A little extra fire protection is a good thing. Also keeping an eye on the AFR up at 9 to 12,500 feet.

The building my shop was in got sold. The new owner needs it. All my stuff other than my car is in storage till August. I'll have to do what I can in my garage at home, and do some work out of Vintage Car Works where some final touches are being done to a 69 Golden Green Targa. And Rowe Performance where a 3.2 MFI engine with RSR sized induction and new slightly bigger SSI heat exchangers is being built for the same car off a 82SC case. I've been asked to do a open box revel on them and a video on their fitment on the engine. I'm way behind on this. I'll do a revel when I get in my new shop and a video when they are fitted to the engine. A fresh built 2.4 Mod S just didn't have enough get up and go power. The stacks have been cerakoted black. Not the throttle bodies as I don't want to take them apart. The fuel pump is at Fairchild for a different space cam and whatever as the bump is a fresh S rebuild from them but not specked to this engine.

I saw this car yesterday. I want one.

WOW! I never dreamed this little car would get 200,000 page views. Thanks everyone for the interest in the car.
