Questions for a 3.0, #1 is adapting to a 901, What can I keep, what do I need? what else? Options

[Mark Henry]

Still debating to build a 2.0 or 2.4 or 2.7 or say fuch it sell it all and get a 3.0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
To me the bottom line $$$ looks almost the same.

For a 3.0:
What would I need to keep for the clutch and PP (9bolt fly) that works on a 901?
What would I need to buy from KEP?

Should I be grabbing anything else from the donor engine ?

I'm looking a a few engines,
#1 a 3.2 that's a bit beyond my budget,
#2 an unknown 3.0 longblock core, spins fine, I suspect a broke headstud(s)
#3 a good used stock 3.0 euro sc with CIS,
#4 a hot rod 3.0 with webers newer top end w/JE's

I'm reading all the pro's and cons, yes JP.... Santa did bring me Wayne's book (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
What would be your order on my engine choice list above?

My 2 cents ( it's all I have left after this GT conversion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) I am using a 1978 911 SC 3.0 ( big port ) with 40mm Weber carbs on my conversion. I am using a 901 transmission and the stock 3.0 915 flywheel. I contacted Kennedy and told them what I was doing and they suggested their ring gear,stage II pressure plate,clutch disc and throw out bearing. I ordered what they suggested and my mechanic installed everything and it all fit like a glove. My car should be running this week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) so I'll know how well it all works but my mechanic stated it was all high quality stuff and " dry runs " using the clutch it all seems to work smoothly. I personally think the 3.0 is one of the best Porsche engines ever built and they can be had for decent price. I bought mine 2 years ago for $3000.00 but it did not include induction system but I wasn't going to use CIS anyway. The 78-79 years have larger intake valves than the 80-83. The 78-79 will make a little more hp but the 80-83 tend to make better torque. I have a 83SC with 46mm PMO carbs and she runs just fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Good luck with whatever you choose.
