    COOL! I hope to make it to Dana Point 7-15. I gotta figure out how I'm going to get my car from Denver to SoCal. We'll see.

    Damn - I love the tartan on the seats! This car may be one of my faves.

    Seatback frame mods

    My goal was to have more of a bucket type seat and still look mostly stock, except for the headrest hardware. More support than stock but not as much as a full sport seat. I also wanted the seats to recline so the passenger could get some sleep if we where on a roadtrip. I might still have a fixed drivers sport seat made up for local sprints in the mountains here in the Denver area. I bought enough plaid to do a 3rd and maybe a 4th seat.

    Dyno Results

    This is at 5900 feet at the REAR wheels. Non adjusted and adjusted for sea level.. The numbers at the crank would be higher. Richard Clewett and the local dyno guys said maybe another 15% at the crank.
    147.98 x 1.15 = 170.18 Here
    180.85 x 1.15 = 207.98 at the crank at sea level. In a 2100 lb 1967 car, not bad.

    It handles like a 912 and goes like a 911.

    Wth 50mm throttle bodies and 1 3/4 inch headers and a stock SS exhaust Richard Clewett thought the stock exhaust was the restricting point. He said with a good sport exhaust there might be another 10 to 15 hp to be had. So 215 to 220 hp might be possible. For now I'm calling it good.

    Great progress Chris... love the interior, but the best part is out back! You're way ahead of me, I still haven't taken it off the cradle.

    This is the 2.2 intended for my 356S Notchback. Hope to make a gearbox decision and do the swap before Summer is over.

    Greg Bates makes them, Dean can hook you up. Kinda surprised he doesn't deliver the engine with 'em installed, they really finish it off.

    BTW, the power yours makes is impressive considering where you're located!
