Scott, I've been going back and forth on a similar thought process for my '86 which is 95% track. But in my case either build my 3.2 to a hotrod 3.4 or get a 3.6 and do some mild upgrades to it. Ultimately I just bought a used 3.6 and will be tearing it down and sending heads, barrels and rods to Steve Weiner to do his magic. My goal was 290-300 hp on 93 octane pump fuel.

Steve offers great insight and asks some good questions as well. In my case we're going to basically build a 964RS engine with different valves, cams, headwork, valve springs, titanium retainers, balanced and properly rebuild rods with ARP bolts, European Racing headers. I'm sticking with stock pistons and barrels, and just ExtrudeHoning the intake. Should have a good idle, strong power band from 3500-7000 and have loads of torque. And have an engine that's good for a long time, or until I get bored and do something different.
