it fits straight in if you machine a junk of the case out. only good if you are building the engine from scratch. the thread was started due to sandeep's plan of taking a runnning TIV and fitting it in the car. FAT is the only 911 shroud that allows for this. the DTM is a non-911 shroud that allows for the same. all others that i am aware of require machining.
