Where to get 3.6 rebuilt?
The 1992 3.6 in my 74 911 needs a rebuild due to an over rev (never let friends drive an untamed air cooled 911). I would go to Jones Autowerks, but they are really backed up right now (been waiting for three months just to drop off a 3.0 for rebuild). Any suggestions? I'm in Texas, but could ship it. Thanks.

Back to stock or a mild to wild rebuild? Henry S. (CA) or Steve W. (OR) come to mind. Both prob worth the effort to ship for a rebuild. Also Patrick Motorsports out in AZ.

Sent you a PM. My mechanic/racing buddy Danny @ Silent Automotive in Austin is a great guy.
He walked me through/oversaw my first air-cooled rebuild and maintains my RSR and many of my other Porsche projects when I don't have time.  cheers, Mike

Who is this Steve W in Oregon? I am in Oregon and would like to someone who is good at massaging Porsche power plants.

Mark, Check with William Knight over in Houston. I am not sure about Mike Callas in Sealy. Good choice but I am not sure if he is still doing engines.
Ed Mayo is a great choice in DFW area. He was at the HCR. Not sure if you want to travel that far. Austin area could be Steve Henry in Spicewood. I guess it depends on what you need done. Just top-end or the full works? Are you changing cams to fit with your PMO induction compared to Motronic?
