2.5 ss mfi
 

Considering building a 2.5 SS MFI engine. I have the MFI. Looking for a rough idea of a build list to include whether I should use a 2.7 case or an early 65 aluminum case that has already been opened up for 90mm spigots and has a MFI pump pedestal already installed. This will be a sport engine, not a race engine. Might incorporate the Rothsport
high butterfly TBs...and not sure if I want to twin plug it. This will probably end up in a SWB 911 :D

Henry?

I love the idea, great engine!
If you decide to go with 2.7 case I would be interested in your aluminium case for my 2.5ss twin-turbo engine...

Response here has been amazing...
 

Not much SS 2.5 or 2.8 interest?
Realized I have all the components and machining done to start my 2.7 RS MFI spec engine. Wouldn't take much to shift that towards a SS 2.5...might be able to use that same pump set-up, just need some better CR pistons than the 8.5 RS Mahles.

The short stroke 2.5 or SS 2.8 engine are very cool if your goal is RPM. Spinning those little engines is a thrill.
That said, I would generally advise building the largest engine you can based on your application.
Building a high RPM engine requires compromises (always to low end) but those compromises also include noise, engine life, fuel mileage, challenging heat distribution and a general sense of frantic shifting.
Longer stroke engines tend to offer an ease of driving missing from peaky engine.
