Summit Racing Teams Up with Rutledge Wood for a Wild Porsche Project

Take one 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera. Add in an American V8 transplant, a Japanese widebody kit, and some good old-fashioned hot-rodding with some help from a NASCAR legend’s shop. Bananas? Nah, It’s just Rutledge Wood.

Longtime Rutledge partner Kenwood Rod Shop will handle the mechanicals and major fabrication duties. Summit Racing supplied the 430 horsepower Chevrolet Performance 6.2L E-Rod crate motor that will replace the 911’s 3.2L flat six.

Then, RWB’s Akira Nakai will install an one of his widebody kits at the legendary Petty’s Garage before the car is painted Petty Blue and gets hand-painted 43s on the doors. Somebody get the Porsche purists some smelling salts, please.

Summit Racing’s OnAllCylinders blog will be posting project updates and video as fast as Rutledge can feed them to us. We'll let Rutledge explain the rest in this video. Watch it on any of our social media platforms--heck, watch it on all of them.
