High CR pistons for Carrera 3.0 engine

Hi guys,

I'm started on the rebuild of my 911 Carrera 3.0 engine. Not sure yet but I might want to upgrade the pistons to JE/Wossner with a higher CR.

As the engine bore is 95mm I see a lot of sets for sale for an SC engine. The difference however is that the carrera 3.0 engine uses the 2.7 crank 6 bolt crank. From what I read the small end of the connecting rods is wider on these than the later SC engines. Will SC pistons fit on the wider connecting rods?

Thanks,

Jesse

The 75/77 euro used the Mahle 93L7 which went into later 78/79 USA production
Across the board, your build should be good. Wrist pins were all same diameter, 22mm, through SC production, except the turbo 3.3 used 23mm wrist pins

Is that price for pistons only or?

This is offered as a kit.
Special order pistons are just that, special order.
We are not a parts house per se. We are engine builders offering something special that we use in house.

Thanks for the replies guys!
