I have the 997 factory short shift kit, so the feel with the SSK + weighted knob is good, but the throws are certainly longer.
I think the console riser would have been a better solution to keep the throws tight, but they went out of production and are hard to find these days.

Southern California finally received some rain on Saturday and Sunday. 170 days after it rained last. Drove up to Mt Baldy to stretch my and the car's legs. Snow in the village at 4,200 feet. Pictures are at the end of the road +/-6,000 feet.

Forgot to attach pictures. See next post.

I saw the video last night on Facebook, unless there is someone else who just finished the same engine swap. I had to have the volume off though as my wife was already asleep. Nice work!

Yeah, that's me. I can't figure out how to upload a video on this website. I'm terribly incompetent when it comes to technologies (hence the carb sitting on top LOL).


She's really coming along. I looked up some of the wire diagrams while I was bored at work today. I think I'm just gonna hot wire the cooling fans directly to the 4 relays under the dash with a thermoswitch on the block.

I used my new Foxwell nt 510 elite ODB to read and reset air bag warning light! Worked great. Error was actually the driver's seat belt - low voltage is my guess based on other posts and my scenario of starting the engine without my seat belt on... triggering the seat belt alarm and a low voltage hit on the related air bag warning system.

So, bought a can of Deoxit 5 electrical contact cleaner and applied it to the seatbelt receptacle and connection to the bar under the seat as noted in other posts. Magic!
