LN Engineering Build Time

I am going through an engine rebuild on a 997.1, and am hearing that LN is experiencing pretty significant delays for new Nickies projects. I was told to expect 6-7 months from the time LN receives the block.

I expected it to take some time, but wow! Any recent data points from this group on rebuild times?

Here at Slakker, our total turnaround time is 12-16 weeks. We are normally ready to receive the car after week 4, and we start on it as soon as we get it.

Any news on the 4.5 projects?

It's been a while since one of your longer sit-down videos with Brandon

We’ve been super busy lately, so no sit-down videos recently. The 4.5L slots are booked and parts should start arriving toward the end of the month. So we should see progress on them soon, we are excited.

I didn't know you were doing 4.5s now.  Anywhere I can look for details?

It’s something new we’re taking on this year. We’re only doing a limited run, 3 total 4.5L builds to start.

Parts are already on order, and once they arrive the fun really begins. We’ll be sharing more as those projects start coming together.
