Wonder if RUF made their own crankcase / crank / cams / etc or whether they bought the Polo parts?

I'm pretty sure I read in one of the mags that Polopolus has supplied him with the crankcase kits

From Dean Polopolus on the Turbo if you think it was made up The latest project I am doing is a Polo to rival the power output of the ubiquitously popular crate V8, but in a package that weighs easily 1/4 of the amount and fits in the confines of a 356 Speedster. “I just finished a car, it was a ’58...

Here we are.

No doubt there will a few body/engine mount mods required,

but it would be great to have the first one in the UK.


.

Ha ha just a few body alterations to fit that in

Yes hoping to have a look at that when I go across but think I will stick with the normally aspirated Polo engine

Thanks

Edit. How much do these engines cost ?

Hi yes the 912 does look great and provides fantastic power delivery. I’m hooked for one and will be going down this route.

Would it not work out a lot less mental expensive to put a 911 engine in a 912 ?

Hi I wondered if anyone in the UK has fitted a Polopolus engine in to their 912. I spoke to Dean Polopolus and he said he had supplied an engine to a 912 owner over here and wondered if they were a member of DDK and had any feedback. I know they are mentally expensive but I am thinking of going over...

Hi I have recently purchased a 1967 Signal Green Porsche 912 from Max at Revival which was owned by a previous member of this Forum and looking forward to getting out and about a lot this year in the car. I would have posted a picture but the size is to big according to the message.

Hi I have a 1967 912 and not sure which Oil to use. I use Valvoline VR1 20/50 Mineral Oil on my Elan and Cooper S but not sure whether that is correct for the 912.
