Which engines are the best 6 cylinders. It seems I read somewhere that mid 70's models were lacking in durability. What was it and is there a fix now? And as far as value, which would be the best.

This post of mine will be of limited value. (this is, of course, in sharp contrast with my other posts:) Bruce Anderson's 911 book is a great reference for the various generations of P-6's, including strengths, weaknesses, fixes for weaknesses, etc. Lots of grotty details. Borrow or buy one.
Actual choice will depend on what you want to do and your budget (duh). Popular choice these days seems to be the 3.2, but Brad and others will chime in with real data. I've never done a conversion, so I'm just parroting info I've picked up from others. kim. |
