yurp tis, only just pokes into the rear floor pan, worrying thing is that it is rot on both sides of where the cross member welds on.
is this going to me a hazard atall or structually determential to the car?

again, what comp ratio you aiming for?
I'd personally still keep the SW5 in the game plan, it'll produce what a 998 needs (torque!!)

10.5/11:1
but in all honesty its gunna be abit much for the sw5
so maybe a piper BP285 or a cam with a 265-285 rotation
or a kent 649 however it picks up at 3k, so i have the feeling this isent going to be the one lol
