Re: [DMCForum] Engine Conversion..

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the good words Bob..  There are few people
who can relate to what it takes to successfully
complete a project like this, and you are one of them.

I have no experience doing fabrication or machining,
and have no problem paying a professional $75 an hour
(or more) to do good work.  The problem I have found
is that most of these guys are NOT professional.  

Jessie James and the likes make it worse.  It is now
"cool" to be an unprofessional egotistical fabricator.
 Somehow, they get away with it even if they are not
talented.  I see the same thing in my profession
(computers).....  But, You know I wish that I had
Jessie?s girl!

Going with the Porsche transmission will hopefully
eliminate the need to have custom tight-tolerance
fabrication done.  I will still need to make some
custom mounts for the engine and trans, but can do
that myself with a MIG welder in my garage.
