The Steps to Complete Restoration
9. The Engine


I told my buddy John that I would keep the car so that friends could come along on desert and Baja trips and the next thing I know this engine shows up!

This is a 1600 dual port engine and John (a 356 Porsche restoration expert) rebuilt it before delivering it. It has aluminum valve covers, chrome sheet metal, dog-house cooler, heavy duty oil pump with built in filter, aluminum pulley, and alternator.

So, I think we will save the following steps for an engine restoration project in the future.
