If someone is going to start looking for a 6 to build what do you want and what do you want to avoid?
2.2 2.4 2.7 3.0 3.2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

So it took me 4 years to get my 2.0L built and into my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
that said it is a sickness and I am already looking to the next step Found a 2.7 that turns but does not run complete out of a '76 that I can get for under $1k. Maybe a paperweight, maybe a starting point. No idea if it is a G, H, I or K. Still just sniffing it out. But $1k for complete core sounds like a start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Or my neighbor has a '79 911 targa 3.0 SC I could get for < 8K I know history and it runs strong. Part it out and keep the motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Just not that much in mid-west vs you lucky west coast folks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

As well many need to be shaved before they're align-bored. That makes for an expensive beginning for a case. After that though, they are delightful and super-light. Used to be they were all shuffle-pinned as well but that process created stress points that generally created a bigger problem than they solved. I loved mine. Especially the sound through Webbers and a Porsche sport muffler. This 3.6L motor I have now sounds great but it's a completely different timbre. Can't get that specific scream out of it that the 2.7L and smaller displacement machines gave us. |
