thanks for the great answers!!!

im a pretty good mechanic. and getting better and fabbing. and im going to get some of those books. but if i could get a few things answered before the books get to me...

how many different engines came in the 84-89 911?

HP?
weight?
how reliable are these cars?
can the motors take a beating? (like honda)
compression ratios?
are they all air cooled to what year? is air cooled better in porsche motors?
all carbed? or fuel injected?

is there somewhere this info is listed? i found a site where all this is listed for the 944. hopefully theres something similar for the 911.

could i get a few links for aftermarket parts? cosmetic and performance? this will help me set my looks/power goal. budget and get a general idea wich model i would like the outcome to be.
