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?

Thanks for the link but I did see it same time as you guys. It's now mine.

So a hot rod 3.0 is what I'm building, it's '79SC premo std/std core with nickisils, complete longblock except for flywheel. It was Shaun's personal project till he lucked into a deal on 2-3.2's, so it's suppose to be real nice. I'll should know real soon as he has some shipping deal and I'll have to pick up from the airport.

Went through my 2.7 stash and I already have new ramps, chains, rod bolts and nuts, cam keys and pins, intermediate bearings and tensioner update kit.

Is the opened 2.7 gasket kit any good to me? Is it the same except for the head gaskets? If not I'll sell it with the 2.7 core.

So now I need to sell all the 911 stuff I don't need for phase two. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Not sure if the prices have recently come down on 3.0s but thats a killer deal, much less than I paid for my core and you have nikasils...good find!

I've been looking, I had the cash and I was fast.
Includes shipping to Toronto airport, it's a smoking deal, suppose to be a nice engine. I'm stoked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The stock 3.0L with headers & carbs will give around 200hp.......save you a couple grand too. How fast do you want to go?

This is what I almost bought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

don't know enough about the guts of the 3.0L to give you a definitive answer.
The *gaskets* should fit, but were I in your shoes I'd buy the complete rebuild kit & sell off what you have. Everything you'll need is then in one box....and there's a shit load of "stuff".
Don't forget those studs, they are not in the kit.

Fuch that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) almost everything from the 2.7 engine fits except the bearings. The gasket kit is the same except the head and base shims and cam plugs. I can get it all off the bird. Saves me $200 on the engine gasket set alone. I have at least $1K of new parts already.
Studs on the list, none were broke but he tossed them out.

Other nice thing is it's all been disassembled, cleaned and inspected, so that will save huge time and a PITA job.
