Re: Massive Head Work a/k/a Giving Head

>>I would really like to know how heads from an overhead-cam Porsche 911 were mated with a pushrod Porsche 912 <<

I was thinking exactly the same thing -- not to mention that the 911 is a flat 6 while the 912 is a 4, and I would guess that the cylinder bore and spacing are probably different!

This was a W-3, am I right -- one cyl at 45 degrees and another at 90 from the first -- like a standard Harley with another cyl spaced an another 45 degrees? If so, it was built by a guy named Feuling (sp?) who died recently. It was featured in at least one of the US moto rags a couple of years back (either CycleWorld or Motorcyclist).



Apparently it actually worked fairly well.

OK, Found a few links so you can shove it in the guys face!

Jim Feuling was a pretty interesting guy, and his W3 was only one of his projects.
