911SC Track Car Build - Episode 1: Engine Teardown

Welcome to the MITchanic YouTube channel! This is my first video in a series that documents how I built up a 1983 Porsche 911SC track car to compete in the One Lap of America race. The following episodes will cover how I rebuilt and modified the engine to make 260 hp (44% more than stock), improved the suspension and brakes, and installed a half roll cage, race seats, and racing harnesses. Episode 1 chronicles the teardown of the engine and getting it ready for machining. I recommend watching the engine rebuild series in tandem with reading How to Rebuild and Modify Porsche 911 Engines, by Wayne Dempsey. The videos largely follow the progression of topics in the book.
