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) |

I installed a 1974 2.7 out of a U.S. 911S Carrerra back in 1986. With Webers it was the best sounding engine I have ever heard. I used go back and forth through the Alameda tunnel just to listen to the engine. I also used a stock 911 2.0 flywheel and clutch. The engine matched the stock 914 gearing quite well and was a blast to drive. Then in 2000 it started pulling head studs and lost most of its power. At the time my choice was to spend $6k to overhaul it or buy something else. I ended up buying a used 1984 Euro 3.2 motor for $5200. I miss the sound of the webers, but the driveability and reliability of the motronic fuel injection is amazing. The down side now is that 1st gear is to low for the 3.2 motor and most of the time I now start off in second. I only use 1st when starting from stop on a hill. If the 2.7 motor has been overhauled properly to address the issues and the price was right, then I would recommend it highly.
