Locking down the engine plan
Ok - I've flip-flopped more than a fresh carp in the last few months!
- First I wanted a high revving 2.6 built with 92mm P&Cs on a 7R case, but I wanted a bit more power. - Then a 3.0 core came along and the idea shifted to a 3.0 with JE pistons, GE-40 style cams and webers, but I thought it would be 'too modern / mid 70's' for my early 911 . - Then Henry posted the 2.8SS engine he had recently done for a client (curse you Henry! ![]() - I couldn't find a decent 3.0 Carerra case, so now I'm back to a short stroke 2.5-2.6 engine built on an early aluminium case - Basically a pure high-revving, free-spinning, sporting engine for the streets. Got all that? Now I have: 2.2 S with Webers in the car right now Disassembled 3.0 in storage early aluminum 2.0 on it's way to me The plan is: Early aluminium case and intermediate shaft Heads from the 2.2 S Early S Cams Webers Counter-Weighted 66mm crankshaft 92mm RSR Pistons 90mm Cylinders bored to 92mm and replated (maybe nickies if budget allows) ARP or Supertec head studs ARP Rod Bolts Now I just have to get it put together and get the spares sold!
