Porsche-Inspired 1800cc Street Motor for “Stubby Cat”
This isn’t a race grenade. It’s a street-built, vintage hot rod motor - a bridge between 1960s Wolfsburg DNA and 2025 precision craftsmanship. From a dead case to a polished, re-bored foundation; from hand-balanced rods and pistons to a cam with soul; from ported-and-polished heads to carbs matched to breath; this motor was saved, reborn, and built to be driven hard for decades to come. 🔥 VF4 Barn Builds — Bringing Old Engines Back to Life, by Hand, Since 1983 😎
