You are getting ready to surpass me on my build! Mine has been stalled for several years due to the addition of two children and a 50 year old house that seams to take the remaining time I have free. Its looking good. Mine has been apart a bit longer going on 7 years now. I was nearly complete when we purchased the house and then adopted our two children. Priorities dictated that I put my project aside. Over the years I have been collecting parts and planing my attack on the project. I recently received the final hard to get part to complete my twin turbo EFI conversion. Your thread (and others on Pelican) have given me some motivation to start back up. Keep the pictures and updates coming!

Air Hole Plugs for heads
If you ever have a need to fill those pesky little holes in your heads on the exh side use mercedes tranny plugs! An ole race car builder told me about them.

you should tag weld those in. When I used to track my 930 I would have a bag of them with me because they would constantly fall out when the car got really hot. (which is always in FL on the track). They should be permanently plugged !!!

I used green sleeve on them so we'll see if it holds

Case saving measures required
I've got 2 iffy head stud holes in the left case that I'm going to repair with Time-serts, so progress is slowed a little. One of the holes wont hold torque even with green sleeve and the other holds with green sleeve, but if I'm gonna fix one I'll fix both while I'm there

Front end progress
The wifie asked if I'd PLEASE try not to make any banging noise in the garage early on Saturday mornings, so I decided to buy a silent banger
