It was nice to look at on the bench but more useful in the car. Only 6,465 things left to do!

It's ALIVE!
Making a racket, though - I might have reassembled one or both tensioners backwards. Because I didn't pay attention to this detail. Because I only now learned, when reading about why new lifters don't pump up, that the tensioners can go together backwards. Something for tomorrow, when it's cooled off. EDIT: Bingo! Driver's side tensioner inverted. Sounds pretty good now.

After 95 days on the lift, the Mother Ship returned to earth today. My 'cuda 340 project spent about 30x that long out of commission, so I'm rather chuffed. Reviewing the long Trello list of tasks makes me think that the lift paid for itself.
Last job in the air was to replace both cooling fan ballasts. I did it as a while-you're-in-there job. It was a PITA, but both had failed. Definitely important for a daily driver and since replacement requires pulling the front bumper cover, much better to do before paint. I let the car idle for 15-20 minutes and drove it around the driveway a bit and all seems to be well. The 964 engine mounts definitely make more NVH than the pillowy 993 mounts, but not terrible. Hopefully they'll work well with the FDM short shifter and shift rod for a nice driving experience. It's a happy NVH, too - adding another player to the Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra out back. Unfortunately the weather will conspire against getting the car over to the body shop on Monday (see also "Old Man Yells At Cloud").

Car's now at the spa for a few weeks, I should have some pics during the work.
I was really surprised at the NVH during my drive to work today, including a lot of gearbox noise even when cold. Not at all what I'd been reading about RS motor mounts. So I checked my receipts, and sure enough I bought an RS transaxle mount as well: 96437505581. Apparently the trans mount makes a big difference for NVH. Unfortunately it's not a simple swap.

Great work with everything. I'm jealous of the work area.
Are you still using Village Body?

I wish I was - his work is great and I love his approach, but he's way too busy with existing customers to take on new work. Based on the recommendation of a friend who's a Benz concours guy I'm using D&V Masters in Sterling. They've apparently done at least 1/2 a dozen 993s in the last year, so at least they're not learning on my car

Ed,
Can’t wait to see the results! As for the NVH, I too installed RS motor mounts many years ago. The only time I notice increased NVH is when the A/C is on. I can overlook that in favor of the simple & robust design of the mounts. I suspect the transmission mount is your suspect. Andreas
